Evolving Structural-Strategic Family Therapy (ESSFT) Training

There has been significant research to show that family therapy is an effective treatment for working with children and adolescents.  Many therapists don't provide family therapy because they feel undertrained or intimidated by working with families.  One difficulty therapists find is that there are multiple theories of family therapy making it difficult to integrate the approaches.  Evolving Structural-Strategic Family Therapy provides a four step treatment approach that is a clear roadmap for working with families.  ESSFT utilizes theories and techniques from Structural Family Therapy, Strategic Family Therapy, Behavioral Family Therapy, Attachment Based Family Therapy, Neuroscience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.  ​

​W. Keith Sutton, Psy.D. is a clinical psychologist and director of the Institute for the Advancement of Psychotherapy.  He has been working with children. adolescents and their families since 1998 in teens shelters, a residential treatment program, a wilderness program, drug and alcohol outpatient program, schools, community clinics, an in-home therapy program, and in private practice.  Dr. Sutton trained in Narrative Family Therapy, Brief Strategic Family Therapy, Behavioral Family Therapy and Structural Family Therapy in his graduate training and trained at the Mental Research Institute with the Strategic Family Therapy Team.  He is the past president of the Association of Family Therapists of Northern California.
Picture
James Keim, LCSW is the founder of Mimosa Therapeutics, Inc., which uses bioreactors to grow research grade, natural psilocybin, rather than the synthetic psilocybin which is most widespread. He was the clinical director for Jay Haley and Cloe Madanes, the developers of Strategic Family Therapy, has published his work on Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and heads the Institute for the Advancement of Psychotherapy's Oppositional and Conduct Disorder Clinic. James Keim in addition to teaching at the IAP, also teaches family therapy in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand.
WORKSHOPS
This six hour workshop is geared both towards clinicians new to ESSFT as well as those experienced with ESSFT.  We will review the basic concepts of family therapy, the theoretical underpinnings to our approach that incorporates structural family therapy, strategic family therapy, behavioral family therapy, cognitive behavioral family therapy, and attachment based family therapy.  We will then teach practical skills for working with families and providing a road map to effective treatment.  There will be opportunities for role play and learning creative, practical skills for helping families in order to have tools to use with clients.

**Please note: to accommodate for shelter-in-place mandates, our Spring and Summer 2021 trainings are now available for remote attendance via Zoom.**

ONE WAY MIRROR TRAINING
Participants who have taken the six hour workshops in ESSFT will be invited to attend the 10 session live "one way mirror" training where one therapist from the training will volunteer to see the client*, while Dr. Sutton and James Keim calls into the session, giving suggestions while the group watches the session via video camera.  The first 30 minutes of the training will be spent discussing the case, the plan for the session that day, and addressing the theory and techniques.  The client will then work with the therapist for 50 minutes while the team gives suggestions during the session.   After the session is over, the group will spend the last 30 minutes discussing what worked, what didn't, and why.  We will be able to go beyond just theory and technique and see how to apply the approaches in practice.
*IAP can not guarantee that we will have a client or that the client will come for all 10 sessions.  If this does happen, then we will use the time as a consultation group, may have people in the training bringing in their clients for a single session, or watch videos of sessions.  IAP will make every effort to have a client coming in for the therapy and we have been able to have a client each time, so the likelihood of not having a client is very low.
