Ms Christa Koch presents:

Exploring the integration of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Mediated Learning Experience to enhance psychotherapeutic practices

This presentation looks at combining Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) in therapy. SFBT is a short, goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding solutions and using client strengths, while MLE aims to enhance cognitive and emotional development through active therapist involvement. Merging these methods can help clients achieve practical results while also improving their thinking flexibility and emotional strength. This approach encourages clients to actively participate in their therapy, boosting self-awareness and problem-solving skills. Both SFBT and MLE are based in educational and cognitive psychology. This presentation introduces the concept of their integration, noting that research on their combined use is still developing. It explores how this integration may better support clients facing anxiety, depression, and other issues, and encourages psychologists in various settings to consider the benefits of creating tailored solutions for each client’s situation.

Prof Melanie Moon presents:

A South African perspective on family murder

This presentation provides an overview of family murder in South Africa, highlighting its prevalence and societal impact. It explores the different types of family murder, including familicide, parricide, and filicide, each defined and described in detail. Familicide involves the killing of multiple family members, typically by a family member; parricide refers to the killing of one’s parents; and filicide involves the murder of one's child. The presentation also addresses the "elephant in the room"—the potential role of antisocial personality disorder in these crimes, discussing its characteristics and possible influence on violent familial dynamics.

Dr Jill Ryan presents

Navigating Legal and Ethical Responsibilities: Reporting Obligations under the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2021

The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007, has recently undergone amendments. The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act no.13 of 2021 introduced crucial provisions, such as extending the ambit to include and define ‘vulnerable’ people, but also to further regulate the reporting duty of persons who are aware that sexual offences have been committed against persons who are vulnerable. This legal reporting obligation applies to all members of society that has knowledge, reasonable belief or suspicion that a sexual offence has been committed against vulnerable individuals. In this presentation, we will explore how these amendments inform when to report, who we must report to, who does the reporting, and the legal implications around reporting and not reporting. It is hoped that this presentation will provide professionals further insight into one’s legal duty to report and ensuring ethical practice, whilst still fulfilling the therapeutic relationship, between the healthcare professional and the client/patient.
