In Treatment.

By Jackie, on December 27, 2009, at 10:40 pm

For Christmas, Santa gave me the DVD set of the first season of the HBO show “In Treatment” – in which Gabriel Byrne plays Paul, a psychotherapist who runs a private practice out of his home. Each disc is one week’s worth of sessions with 5 clients. The last episode on each disc is Paul’s own session with his old clinical supervisor, who he started going back to for professional and personal advice.

I am looking forward to watching the evolution of Paul’s relationships with his clients, from both an academic and entertainment standpoint; seeing how much I can relate to, and even what sorts of things I can “prepare” myself for, if you will.

So far, it’s very enjoyable – entertaining, engaging, and thought-provoking. What I’ve noticed in particular so far, is how each featured client, in their own way, comes to Paul seeking “permission” – either trying to foist responsibility onto him, or seeking his specific advice about something. It’s fascinating watching the character do the delicate dance of neither accepting the responsibility for the client, but also trying to keep their trust and sense of self intact.

I wonder how often then, our clients (or students, or intimates, etc.) do that – ask for our “blessing” as it were, on things they have already decided, but don’t want to take responsibility for…and we, in the “thick” of it, we may not even see it as such.

An Anthropologist Living with Recovering Heroin Addicts: Lessons for Counselors workshop

By Betsy Emery - Student Affairs, on December 21, 2009, at 4:19 pm

The Department of Counseling and Human Services presents: Michael Seltzer, Ph.D. Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, Oslo University College Oslo, Norway

An Anthropologist Living with Recovering Heroin Addicts: Lessons for Counselors

This workshop presents a treatment program for substance abusers carried out at a therapeutic community treatment located in rural Hungary. The program was studied by an anthropologist who lived and worked with community members during 2003 and 2004. The community has long had success in treating substance abusers and today five years after leaving the community all but two of the graduates of the treatment program from that period live clean, sober and productive lives. It will touch upon those aspects of the program revealed by ethnographic fieldwork which appear to play key roles in helping the recovery processes of the members of this therapeutic community.

January 28, Education Building (Homewood Campus), Room 225, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Feburary 1, Columbia Center, see room assignment at front desk, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
