- Provide an in-depth understanding of the key elements of Dialogic Practice and Open Dialogue.
- Foster the clinical skills of therapeutic responsiveness and reflection.
- Give a broad overview of the evolution of Dialogic Practice in the family therapy tradition that, founded on Gregory Bateson’s work, made language and communication central to the therapeutic process.

- Cultivate the creativity of the participants as they adapt these new learnings to their own personal styles and settings.
- Examine the ethics of Dialogic Practice and Open Dialogue.
The curriculum will include a combination of lectures, experiential exercises, a discussion of readings, role-plays, videotapes, live consultations, family-of-origin work, and supervision.
