IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL PARTICIPANTS FRIDAY MORNING CASE PRESENTATION 1 (F1CP1): 10.45 AM - 12.15 PM Using Chair Work and The Four Dialogues in Schema Therapy: a Live Consultation Session by Scott Kellogg & Eckhard Roediger |
General Overview: Chairwork has been playing an increasing significant role in Schema Therapy in recent years ((Heath & Startup, 2020; Kellogg, 2015). The discovery of the Four Dialogues in 2018 was significant breakthrough because it provided a powerful and elegant model for effective psychotherapeutic action whether using Chairwork, Imagery, or more conversational forms of clinical encounter (Kellogg, 2018, 2019; Kellogg & Garcia Torres, 2021). The Four Dialogues are: Giving Voice, Telling the Story, Internal Dialogues, and Relationships and Encounters. Giving Voice involves amplifying and giving expression to a feeling, interviewing a part to better understand it, and/or empowering people to claim power and affirm the decisions that they are making in their lives. Telling the Story is centered on working with people to express and work through difficult, painful, or secret narratives. Internal Dialogues involve working with the patient’s inner parts or modes. These chairwork dialogues usually take one of three forms: (1) Polarity Dialogues; (2) Alternative Dialogues; or (3) Mode Dialogues. Relationships and Encounters dialogues are rooted in the interpersonal world, and it involves working with the cycle of emotions—or the expression of love, anger, fear, and grief. This model provides a framework not only for listening to patients, but also for taking effective action. Drawing on the insights and strengths of both Contextual Schema Therapy and the Four Dialogues, the goal of this presentation is to outline how Chairwork can be used to treat a range of clinical issues as a way of empowering clinicians to create more powerful dialogue-based interventions.
