In the Grip Experience: Journey to the Inferior Functions

Angelito Z. Antonio

University of the Asia and the Pacific

The workshop is about the out-of-character selves we all encounter from time to time, particularly when we are experiencing fatigue and stress. It delves on some of our seemingly aberrant, abnormal experiences of ourselves and others which when dealt with openness can be beneficial for healthy and adaptive living and relationships. In the Grip is based on the personality type theory of Cal Gustav

Jung. Participants will get most from this workshop if they are familiar with the psychological type approach to understanding personality and more importantly, they have taken the MBTI and know their own four-letter personality type (e.g.,

ESTJ, ISTP). The workshop will introduce the participants to a fascinating and valuable part of Jung’s typology – the inferior function. The workshop will be largely interactive using group work process and sharing of experiences.

Joseph B. De Roxas

De La Salle University-Manila/Bulacan State University

Shakespeare wrote that the entire world’s a stage. But Jacob Moreno (1946), the father of Psychodrama, said that the stage is a venue for exploring internal conflicts and acting out unresolved issues that hamper the psychological growth of an individual, this leads to psychological catharsis and resolution. In the end, moments of clarity and insight will empower the clients to make changes in their lives and relationships. This exciting workshop introduces the basic concepts and principles of psychodrama, a form of expressive therapy. The participants will be led to different techniques and methods proposed by Z. Moreno (1959),

Weiner and Sacks (1969), and Blatner (1973, 1988). Lecture, structured learning exercises, group discussion, and video presentation will be utilized in the workshop. All participants are highly encouraged to join the activities. At the end, the aspiring psychologist will be able to apply these techniques in doing clinical intervention in the future.

Heartbreaks and Homeruns:

Self-Touchpoints on a Vision Board

John Val dela Cruz

Lyric Center for Expressive Arts / Lopez Hypnotherapy Clinic and

Psychological Assessment Center

Vision Boards are a simple but powerful tool for gaining clarity in one’s life. You wouldn't drive a long distance without a map, would you? A vision board is a visual map for your life's journey. In this workshop, you become clear about all the things you want in life - career success, a house, a baby, romantic love, to become someone, or whatever you may want to be. This will be initiated through a relaxing process of guided mental imagery. Then the fun part begins in gathering images. You will choose images that resonate with you and your desires. Next, you will sort and adhere the images to a poster board and then add any embellishments as you wish. These are the things you want to manifest.

Finally, you will reflect about the process and the items on your board. Concepts and creative techniques on self-exploration through expressive arts will be discussed.

“Ready, Fire, Aim”: Using Intuition as a Tool in

Understanding Oneself

Mariflor J. Gatchalian

Palawan State University/Ateneo de Manila University

Experimental Phenomenology is a one of the fastest and most interesting field in

Psychology. As such, new ways of assessing individuals by the use of projective tests have also been innovated by the use of intuition and quantitative analysis

(factor analysis). This is an exploratory stage on the new way (bagong daan) as conceptualized by Fr. Jaime Bulatao by using the draw-a-person (DAP) and house-tree-person (HTP) as tools in analyzing and assessing, this time letting go of the manuals but using a psychologist’s intuition as another way (a guide) in knowing “what else is in” our clients. This is especially useful for victims of abuse and violence who are less likely to share their real emotions and repress their real self. The workshop explores the use of intuition that will enable us to get within our client’s inner self thus enabling us to focus on their real needs and

understanding their dynamics.

Workshop

Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD):

Process and Techniques

Virginia Tan- Sanfilip and Rowena Heradura


Debriefing is a specific technique designed to assist individuals in dealing with the physical or psychological symptoms that are generally associated with trauma exposure. Debriefing allows those involved with the incident to process the event and reflect on its impact. Defusing, another component of CISD, allows for the ventilation of thoughts and emotions associated with the crisis event. This will help the victims discuss their feelings and reactions to reduce the stress that results from exposure to critical incidents (Joseph Davis, 1998). CISD is given to clients who are traumatized as a result of natural calamities, rape, sexual, physical or verbal abuse, crime, accidents and sudden deaths. This technique will be introduced and discussed thoroughly to the students to enable them to apply this whenever they encounter clients who had a highly-stressful or traumatic situation either through direct experience or as a witness of it. This workshopseminar will help the students be familiarized with and be equipped in providing

CISD whenever needed by a client through a brief introduction on PSTD; discussion of the CISD process; and a dyad activity of the participants that will highlight the application of the technique. The whole process will then be supervised by the facilitators.

Style Flex

Raul Luis D. Manaligod

Miriam College/DBP Service Corporation/Manila Observatory

At home or at work, persons achieve certain targets, largely on their ability to deal with others. To do so, it is often important to understand and manage themselves first before they get to understand and work well with others. This approach to interpersonal relationship is an adaptation of the work of human resource management experts Robert Bolton and Dorothy Grover Bolton.

Through this workshop, participants will be able to recognize their personal and management style, as well as the predominant style of others, not with the use of a paper and pen, but through keen observation and evaluation of particular styles. As a result, reactions to certain situations can be anticipated and managed by flexing one’s style. This workshop aims to impart a skill‐based interpersonal process, which is ideal for managers, business negotiators, customer service agents, counselors, teachers, and everyone who wishes to build a more cordial and lasting relationship.

Jumpstart a Career in HR: Conducting an Efficient

Competency-Based Interview

Jonathan S. Martinez


One of the areas in HR is recruitment, and this is where the interview is treated as a critical component because organizations want to see and interact with future employees and colleagues (Stewart & Cash, 2008). In the Philippines, a large fraction of Psychology and/or Behavioral Science fresh graduates have decided to join industries. Most of them are designated to positions in OD, ER,

CompBen, L&D, and of course, Recruitment. However, only a few companies provide rudimentary training in the interview. This workshop will provide the participants with: (1) trends and case-based competency-based interview, (2) the proper structure, conduct, and assessment of a competency-based interview,

(3) and, pitfalls of traditional recruitment interview. The first part of the workshop will be delivered in discussion format, giving participants the liberty to interact. The second half will execute a demo and practice on competencybased interview to be conducted in dyads.

Selling Your Skills in Job Interviews

Raquel Cementina-Olpoc


At the end of the workshop, the participants will have had the opportunity to: (1) identify the skills that they have; (2) generate the appropriate answers to the different types of job interview questions; and (3) demonstrate on how to make a good story about themselves. Going to the workplace straight from the classroom could be one of the toughest acts for fresh graduates. It takes a lot of preparation for one to finally let go of the more relaxed college attitude to begin life in the workplace. One of the preparations that need to be done is preparing for job interviews. How does one actually make one’s skills highly appealing to employers especially during interviews? Job interviews measure the skills that the applicants have. Thus, there is a need to acquaint oneself with one’s transferable skills. These are the skills that have been developed or harnessed throughout one’s student life.

Teaching Yourself to be Emotionally Intelligent

Anmarie G. Omagtang

Eastside Preparatory School

Life after college is an emotional roller coaster. You get rejected, you don’t feel right in your career path and you just can’t figure out how to function as well with all the different emotions bombarding you from all sides. Although emotions help us in our survival and are vital in our everyday lives, it is also a poor decision-maker. What’s worse, emotions can actually get in the way with how we make decisions in the present that can greatly affect our future. The workshop will discuss the use and power of emotions and will provide a practical approach on how to deal with emotions like rejection, fear, anger, etc. The workshop will use focus group discussions (FGDs) and survey questionnaires and will have a reflective journal as an output.

32

Music and Child Abuse

Rachel Ann Rosales Parr

Miriam College

Music has been considered to have positive healing properties since the time of

Ancient Greece (Alperson, 1987) and Ancient Egypt (Wilkinson, 1837). The

Egyptians considered the connection between sound and healing as sacred as they believed that music and medicine were connected (Wilkinson, 1837). With the contention that psychological healing can begin when traumatized victims are able to tell their stories, they must first get to the point of knowing the truth about their experience (Herman, 1997). Healing is also a process facilitated not only by addressing one’s negative emotions but by drawing strength from the individual’s positive emotions as well (Linn, 1988). The aim of this workshop is to explore the power of music in creating awareness and drawing out positive and negative emotions; and thereby helping people get in touch with their own emotions. This will be explored by watching and reflecting on music videos considered to have “child abuse” themes.

Workshop

33

Unlearning Fears through Systematic Desensitization

Consuelo Oliveros-Peralta


Many psychologists say that we are born with only two kinds of fear- fear of falling and fear of loud sound. All the other fears are learned. Since they are learned, they can be unlearned. Unreasonable fear not relevant to a given situation or about objects is a phobia. Systematic desensitization is a type of behavioral therapy used to help patients successfully conquer phobias and other anxiety disorders. This treatment is covered in three major steps - Identification,

Relaxation and Desensitisation. The objective of the workshop is to help the participants learn the basic steps involved in unlearning fears. A short lecture about systematic desensitization will be provided, followed by identification of the feared object and creating an anxiety hierarchy. The facilitator will introduce progressive muscle relaxation technique which the participants will practice as they visualize their feared object.

The Alternative Approaches in Analyzing Figure

Drawings

Robert M. Queddeng

Bulacan State University

The figure drawing method assumes that how people perform these tasks reflect some of their basic dispositions and concerns and attitudes towards themselves and other people (Weiner & Greene, 2008). Moreover, these figures are also the person’s unconscious manifestations of his or her needs (Furth, 2002).

Traditionally, examiners make use of test manuals or catalogues in evaluating projective drawings in order to come up with their personal diagnosis about their client. However, there are still certain elements or limitations that examiners must take into consideration in evaluating certain figures such as actions, styles, and symbols. This workshop will introduce alternative approaches in analyzing figure drawings: the Jungian and Humanistic perspectives. The students will have a chance to apply these approaches in DAP,

KFD, and HTP, the most frequently used personality tests in the school setting

(Hogan, 2005). The ideal participants are the graduating students or those who have taken a course on psychological testing.

Looking Through a Biopsychosocial Lens

May Ann Garo Santiago


A student majoring in Psychology will find him/herself looking though different theoretical lenses to explain human behaviour. This workshop challenges students to use/apply an integrative approach- specifically the Biopsychosocial perspective in explaining mental health conditions. The Biopsychosocial perspective suggests that mental health conditions have biological, psychological and social elements that require attention for effective intervention. This contextual approach also proposes that the three aspects of health and illness influence each other. The workshop will be divided into three parts: (1) lecture discussion on the basic concepts/principles of the Biopsychosocial perspective;

(2) filling out a questionnaire (Neukrug, 2007) to assess students’ theoretical inclination, and (3) analysis of case studies and examples where students will be

asked to offer biospychosocial explanations in understanding as well as treating certain mental illness. The workshop will end with an evaluation of the advantages and limitations of the Biopsychosocial perspective.

Creating My LIFE KIT

Rowena Marina M. Silva


As psychologists, we help many people along the way through various methods, concepts, theories and strategies. And as we in grow in years and experiences, it helps to pause, look back and recall exactly what have helped us in our journey in life. This workshop aims to help participants recall past major difficulties they have personally encountered in life or experiences shared by the significant people around them and pinpoint the specific tools that helped them cope with those experiences. Participants will then be guided to create their own mini LIFE

KIT that would contain simple reminder tools to help them not just to cope with possible tough times in the future but to enjoy living life. The facilitator will also share her own LIFE KIT consisting of some of the simple yet most important lessons and reminders in life.

Dealing with Children

Jonathan Emmanuel S. Sison


The workshop aims to develop among the participants the following: (1) knowledge on behaviour management strategies in dealing with children and their effects and consequences; (2) capability in choosing behaviour management strategies based on his/her adhered principles; and, (3) skills in implementing desired strategies.

Analysis will tackle the socio-emotional development of children, focusing but not limiting on Erik Erikson’s

Development Theory in the early stages. The workshop will involve (1) a dialogue on background of the topic and expectations; (2) a presentation of three cases through video clips followed by role playing and group analysis of each case; (3) presentation of participants’ cases through role playing followed by group analysis, and, (4) synthesis and synopsis of what transpired in the workshop. Participants should have an interest in child development and conflict resolution .
