Case conceptualization from the AIP perspective

For centuries scholars believed the world was flat and that the sun and universe revolved around the earth. As scientific evidence mounted, however, the view of the earth became more rounded and a greater understanding of the earth’s place in the universe took on a more informed view. This workshop will explore the position of AIP and EMDR Therapy within the universe of psychotherapy. Questions such as: “The minute a client works in your office, are you doing EMDR or AIP?” “Does AIP revolve around the 8 Phases and 3 prongs of EMDR, or do the 8 phases AND 3 prongs revolve around the universe of AIP?” “What does ‘seeing the client through the lens of the AIP’ really mean, and does it apply with and without all the BLS?” While these and more questions will be presented, answers will be formulated through the lens of each participant’s AIP. Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will be able to describe the AIP model of psychotherapy 2. Participants will be able to understand how to apply the AIP model to EMDR standard BLS activated procedures, i.e. 8 phases and 3 prongs 3. Participants will be able to discuss how to apply the AIP model to psychotherapy interventions without the BLS
