It is said that 80% of all social support and public services are consumed by just 4% of the population.

Despite the claims made by so many trainees of "alphabet therapies" (NLP, EMDR, EFT, TFT, IEMT, PPT, etc) the reality is that there are indeed clients who cannot be helped, won't be helped or are simply unhelpable by conventional methodologies and practices. Human Resource departments, unemployment offices, social services and homeless charities are famliar with this client group. This is a two day workshop exploring the various manifestations of patterns of chronicity that were raised in the practitioner training. Using a combination of case studies, role play and practical exercises, the nature and experience of chronicity will be explored and practical interventions offered.

Areas covered:

• Hopeless Cases, Heartsink Patients and Regular Attenders
• The 5 Primary Patterns of Chronicity
• Workplace: Tackling the Chronically Absent Employee
• The Structure of The Sick Role and Cross Cultural Differences
• The Games of Therapy Junkies
• Patterns of Munchausen's Syndrome and Factitious Disorders
• Dealing with Complaining and Confrontational Clients


This workshop is a must for any change worker who deals with difficult client groups, or is sometimes left mystified by the behaviour and response set of some clients.
