Description:

Since Codependent No More became a self-help book sensation nearly 40 years ago, we’ve seen a torrent of book titles, articles, workshops, and even whole therapy centers centered around codependence work as a therapy concept. Codependency is what we know. But codependency has never been formalized as a diagnosis in the DMS or the ICD. Not ever. In fact there has never been a formal, criteria-based addiction or mental health diagnosis for the “issue” that we call codependency. So, what does this mean to our work today? Which one of the 340+ books on this topic holds the ‘right’ method? Perhaps codependency requires a review for 2024. This thought-provoking talk by treatment specialist, author, and speaker Dr. Robert Weiss LCSW asks attendees to question old assumptions and consider new ideas, ensuring the work we provide remains strength-based, useful and deeply compassionate.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Attendees will join a live evaluation of the codependency model to review its efficacy in 2024.
Attendees will be able to compare and contrast codependence to attachment based treatment to consider its usefulness.
Attendees will develop new skills to intervene upon the loved ones of addicts.
Attendees will learn how to differentiate a trauma-based treatment model from an attachment-based model.
Attendees will learn new language toward effective assessment and evaluation of this population.

Workshop Logistics: After registering you will receive a link to the ZOOM WEBINAR.
