Topics covered by this Masterclass are those suggested and/or selected by delegates and addressed using case material, with a focus on developing practical skills. These may include, for example: 

• Formulating goals or themes that can show up in different modes (such as anger or self-harm)

• Using questionnaires (e.g. the YSQ, YPI and SMI)

• The formulation process – steps in building a conceptualisation

• Experiential methods in formulating (e.g. chair work, imagery)

• Creative ways of representing a mode formulation

• Pacing in the assessment and formulation phase

• Limited reparenting in assessment and formulation

• Use of the therapy relationship to inform conceptualisation

• Conceptual issues (e.g. how do schemas and modes map onto each other?)
