Aims:

There are numerous kinds of leaders: some facilitate, some enforce, some are more visible where others are more introvert but ever so effective. Participants are invited to (re-)consider clinical leadership in the light of schema therapeutic theory and practice.  It is proposed that when the leader facilitates needs to be met, the healthy adult of teams will strengthen. In this interactive skill class participants are handed theoretical background information and tools to grow as a clinical leader in their current workplace environment. The presenters -both working as managing clinical directors and practicing schema therapists- will also share their own successful and not-so-successful experiences.

Teaching Methods:

Guided experiential exercise, lecture, powerpoint, small group exercises.

Learning Objectives:

1) Gaining knowledge about leadership styles and integration with schema therapeutic theory (including small group coping modes).

2) Reflection an insight into difficult situations and the fact that both leaders and those led often have unmet needs and fall back on (inadequate) coping behavior.

3) Recognition and reflection on current work situations

4) Tools for future work situations
