2023 Broaching and Cultural Formulations in Psychotherapy October 20th

October 20, 2023

Over the course of our 2-day training, participants will be introduced to foundational skills in broaching and cultural formulations and the role they play in psychotherapy, and will be given opportunities to acquire and practice skills. Upon completion of this activity, the learner will be able to use the Cultural Formulation Interview to conduct semi-structured interviews that assess a patient's unique cultural identity. The learner will also be more comfortable broaching aspects of their own identities, patient's identities, and possible interactions between the two, within the therapy context.
