A
very edifying and prolific workshop was organized by The Jung Center Mumbai,
The Kripa Foundation and the USA India Jung Foundation on "Emerging
Frontiers in Addiction Treatment" on the February 3 and 4, 2014. The two
day workshop was facilitated by Ashok Bedi, M.D and Dinshah Gagrat M.D, themes
like Crossing the Healing Zone – From Illness to Wellness, Emerging Frontiers
in Eating Addictions, The Wounded Healer and Emerging Frontiers in Alcohol and
Drug Addictions was well facilitated by Dr. Ashok Bedi, M.D. and Dr.
Dinshah Gagrat, M.D.
The
workshop gave a lot of scope to the attendees to talk about their experiences
and understanding related with the themes taken up with respect to their direct
encounter with the chemically afflicted through sharing, discussion and case
presentations. The workshop also gave counselors an insight on how they can
work on themselves to be able to work well and effectively on the target
population.
The
excerpts from Fr.Joe helped the attendees more profoundly to gauge the areas
and patterns to be given glances for change as per the need and requirement of
the whole therapeutic itinerary. Other psychologically therapeutic
interventions were also taken up and introduced to the group addressed like
Integrative Cognitive Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Motivational
Enhancement Therapy, etc.
The
facilitators held the attention of the attendees through out the workshop
strongly and made it immensely appealing, by adding the twines of humor
as an when they could find spaces in between which also included a self-created
poem by Dr. Gagrat. The workshop had the instances of subtle work created by
Fr. Joe and other facilitators which helped stabilize and hold on to the realms
of positive energy around Also present at the worshop was Dr. Shoba and Mrs. Usha Bedi. A sincere Gratitude to Dr (Mrs.).Blanche Barnes of Dr.Leo Barnes Foundation at which the Jungian Workshop was held.
