For many, Erickson set the prototypical example of how to be creative and often evoked a You Said What?! (YSW?!) reaction from clients and students. As we describe in the new book, Creative Therapy in Challenging Situations: Unusual Interventions to Help Clients (Hoyt & Bobele, 2019), such YSW?! interventions are particularly useful and effective when approaching unusual client problems. These interventions are characterized by: (1) respect and empathy, (2) surprise and attention-grabbing, (3) humor, (4) context-specific, (5) acceptability, and (6) memorable. This conversation hour will present several clinical examples as a starting point for a discussion about participants’ own experiences with such interventions, and as a launch point for their own creativity in therapy. Other issues, including ethics and originality, will also be discussed.

 

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe the concept of a You Said What?! (YSW?!) intervention.
2. Identify several characteristics of such interventions, including potential risks and benefits.
3. Identify ways to use YSW?! with attendees’ own clients.
