Taught By Co-Creator, Bill O'Hanlon

*14.5 Continuing Educaiton (CE) Clock Hours for Behavioral Health Professionals (Home Study Format)

Bill O'Hanlon knew he had a mission as a pioneer in the fields of psychotherapy and change. Inspired by his mentor, the late Dr. Milton Erickson, Bill set about to revolutionize the world's perception of mental health pathology and the possibilities of empowering people to discover new solutions by helping them focus on the parts of their lives that contain unseen opportunity.

Along with his co-founder, Michele Weiner-Davis, O'Hanlon created the Solution-Oriented Approach to change and growth. This approach draws and expands on the work and teaching of Milton Erickson, the Brief Therapy methods shaped by the associates from the Mental Research Institute, and the Solution-Focused innovations of Steve de Shazer and the Milwaukee Brief Family Therapy Center.

O'Hanlon (and Weiner-Davis) strove to create a model that was future-focused, while also acknowledging the emotions of people and the practical impact of their lived contexts. In doing so, the Solution-Oriented Approach they created brings both deep compassion and clear pathways to new possibilities.

In this comprehensive master-class, created by O'Hanlon himself, you will get first-hand instruction in this truly helpful and innovative approach to change and growth, along with great live demonstrations on how these methods can be applied. We believe the concepts and methods O'Hanlon shares will be of deep benefit to the development of your own clinical skills and to the continued growth of those you serve.
