School of Life – Spring Term Registration

the Tree Group ㅣActive Learning Center Specialists

The Tree Group’s Active Learning Program will mark the Spring Term on 14th March, during which the children with language development, English acquisition problems, and emotional behavior problems can welcome the upcoming season with excitement.

 

The ultimate goal of Active Learning Program is to analyze children’s difficulties in depth through the comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation and develop the detailed psycho-educational strategies, allowing them to discover and acquire ways to learn by modifying their behavioral problems.

 

School of Life: Here’s a story of a child participating in our Active Learning Program.

 

“Child A, who is attending an English-speaking school, was unable to concentrate on class without confidence. As a result of the evaluation of bilingual comprehensive psycholo-educational evaluation, it was found that despite his excellent intellectual skills, it was difficult to understand the contents of school classes due to poor early English development.

 

The Tree Group’s Active Learning Program, we observed, applied, and helped Child A to acquire the individualized psycholo-educational strategies. As a result, my child started understanding lessons at school and shared what he enjoyed learning with his parents.”

 

School of Life is an opportunity to change children’s lives and futures.

 

If you want to register for the spring semester or have any questions, please contact us and we will kindly guide you.

 

Spring semester period: 2023.03.14 (Tue) to 2023.06.10 (Sat) [13 weeks]

DBT Day RetreatㅣSpring of Musangsa

DBT Day Retreat

Spring of Musangsa

Invitation
 
 
DBT practitioners and many mental health professionals are genuinely interested in deep spiritual practices and some of them in fact are dedicated spiritual leaders. Dr. Marsha Linehan and many scholars as well as practitioners who share her philosophy engages in meditative practice to deepen their spiritual knowledge.
 

Last Autumn and Winter, Zen Master, Daebong Sunim, opened the door of Musangsa for our DBT experiential class participants. It was a valuable experience in learning the truthfulness of his mindful life path and his genuine dedication of delivering the descended enlightenment. Daebong Sunim showed us the original, undecorated form of Buddhism and guided us to his spiritual meditative practices descended by his teacher, Venerable Seung Sahn Sunim. We asked him to provide us his teaching more often.

 

As we all know, it is crucial for us mental health clinicians to reflect ourselves first to treat others. Maintaining a mindful state of mind in our daily lives as well as during our treatment procedures helps us become an effective therapist.

 

We are delighted to share the news that Daebong Sunim and Beobhwa Sunim will lead the third meditation and Dharma retreat this coming April in Musangsa.

 

Hope you participate this precious, once in our life time, Day Retreat with Daebong Sunim that would guide us to reflect ourselves and pursue the path of enlightenment.

DBT Experiential Class 학기별 등록
 

클래스 소개

2008년 다이어렉티컬 행동치료(DBT)의 개발자인 마샤 리네한 박사는 조용범 대표의 초청으로 한국에 방한하여 DBT 워크숍을 진행하였습니다. 이후 한국 전문가들이 DBT를 직접 체험할 수 있도록 하는 것이 바람직하다는 리네한 박사의 의견을 바탕으로 한국 DBT 센터/더트리그룹은 전문가를 위한 DBT Experiential Class를 런칭하였습니다.
  

그 동안 많은 전문가들이 본 클래스를 통해 DBT 그룹에서 일어나는 실제 상황들을 간접적으로 경험하는 기회를 가졌습니다. 올해부터는 전문가를 위한 DBT 클래스를 상설화 하여 학기별로 등록하여 진행하고 있습니다. DBT Experiential Class를 통해 배운 스킬을 자신의 실제 어려움과 상황에 적용해 나갈 수 있는 뜻깊은 시간이 되기를 바랍니다.

특별히 이번 학기는 DBT Experiential Class 전체 4학기 중, 첫 번째 학기 시작으로 DBT 대인관계 스킬을 시작하게 됩니다. 마샤 리네한 박사와 미국 DBT 교육수련 기관의 뜻에 따라 조용범 박사와  DBT 한국본부는 치료자로써 충분한 자격을 갖춘 전문가들 가운데 DBT 치료자가 되고자 하시는 분들에게 이 클래스를 오픈하여 앞으로 더욱 깊이있는 교육과 수련을 받을 수 있도록 하고 있으며, 참여자들은 실제 DBT 치료팀과 같이 수인적인 환경에서 DBT를 경험하고 배우실 수 있습니다.

DBT KOREAㅣEducational Philosophy

2001년 부터 조용범 박사는 미국 뉴욕 The Zucker-Hillside Hospital에서

한국어권 이민자 대상으로 DBT 개인치료와 스킬훈련그룹 시작하였습니다.


조용범 박사ㅣ미국 뉴욕주 심리학자, 더트리그룹/ DBT 센터 한국본부 대표 심리학자

2006년 시애틀에서 마샤 리네한 박사는 저에게 왜 DBT 치료와 교육을 한국에서 시작하려고 하는지 굳고 진지한 표정으로 물으셨습니다. 저의 진심을 직면시키는 선사의 엄중한 질문이었습니다.

지금도 그 분의 마음을 꿰뚫는 눈빛과 질문은,
제 마음을 마인드풀하고 투명하게 합니다.


한국에서도 미국과 같은 높은 수준의 DBT 치료를 통해 고통속에 있는 분들에게 새로운 삶의 희망을 주는 것. 그리고 이를 위해 인간애와 진정성을 겸비한 윤리적 DBT 치료전문가를 양성하는 것.

 

이 두가지 마음의 소원을 말씀드렸습니다. 투명하고 마인드풀한 마음에 대한 응답으로, 리네한 박사는 서울에 직접 방문하여 DBT Korea의 미션을 지원하고 한국의 전문가들을 교육하게 됩니다.

 

이 후 시애틀의 전문가 팀의 지원과 리네한 박사의 서울 방문, DBT 센터 한국본부의 매뉴얼 번역작업, 전문가를 위한 DBT 클래스, 한국인과 영어권 내담자를 위한 DBT 치료 등 한국에서 필요한 일을 묵묵히 해오고 있습니다. 

 

저와 DBT 센터 한국본부는 마샤 리네한 박사의 철학과 미션을 공유하여, 인간의 고통과 괴로움을 낮추고자 마음을 열어 같이 헌신하고자 하는 전문가분들에게 항상 열려있습니다.

거울을 보며 나를 온전히 받아들이기

오늘의 마인드풀니스

Mindfulness TODAY

조용범 박사ㅣYong Cho, Ph.D.
person holding a mirror on an open field
오늘은 거울로 우리를 바라보는 시간을 갖도록 하겠습니다.

손거울이나 핸드폰 카메라를 준비합니다.

우리의 얼굴을 상세하게 관찰하며 다양한 표정과 모양을 살펴봅니다.
 
나의 얼굴의 피부와 생김새를 세밀하게 관찰합니다.
내 얼굴이 생각해왔던 모습과 다른지 살펴봅니다.
 
내 모습에 대해 부정적 생각이 들거나 받아들이기 어렵다면, 
그 생각을 그대로 관찰합니다.
지금의 얼굴 모습이 어떻게 만들어졌는지 생각해 봅니다.
그리고 나의 마음을 다해 나의 모습을 수용합니다.
 
내 모습에서 받아들여지지 않는 모습이 있다면,
먼저 그것이 무엇인지 자각합니다.
내 모습을 바라볼 때 느껴지는 감정을 숨기거나 피하려는 감정이 있는지 관찰해 봅니다.
그리고 거울에 비춰진 얼굴을 있는 그대로 수용한다고 내 마음 속으로 서약합니다.
온 힘을 다해, 온전히 내 모습을 있는 그대로 받아들이겠다고 서약합니다.
 
마음 속에서 나를 바라보는 것을 거부하려고 하면,
그 순간을 그대로 감내합니다.
그리고 기꺼이 함으로 철저하게 나의 모습을 그대로 수용합니다.

Remote Administration of the Comprehensive Psychological/Psycho-educational Evaluation

The International Psychological Services center of the Tree Group has been providing treatment services online; however, the comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation has been provided offline only as various assessment tools are needed to carry out the evaluation. Nevertheless, in times when travel is restricted and social distancing is necessary, the Tree Group has become more aware of those who need comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation from abroad. Therefore, the Tree Group has decided to provide remote administration of the comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation by following the protocols updated by Pearson regarding Tele-practice of psychological and educational evaluations.

Where will the comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation take place?

The clinic has been providing years of online services to those in both Korea and abroad using diverse online platforms. Recently, due to the global pandemic, theTreeGroup has created and actively utilized a virtual office on Teams to provide better services online. The comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation will also be held on Teams to those who might find it difficult to visit our clinic in person.

How is the comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation arranged?

The clinic receives all referrals and contacts from international schools and parents. The school can make the initial contact; however, we then encourage the parents to call us for further information. During the first few contacts, an intake interview along with a comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation can be arranged to create a good diagnostic picture of the child or/and to make an effective treatment plan. The results of the intake interview and the comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation can also be shared with the school under the parent’s consent.

What is involved in the comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation?

The clinic uses various scientifically proven assessments to understand a child’s cognitive and academic abilities as well as the child’s behavioural and psychological issues. Below are several of the assessments included in the evaluation.

The content of the assessment varies slightly depending on the age of the child. The clinic also uses the Korean version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition to those who are bilingual. The inclusion of both the English and Korean versions of the assessment is to have a better understanding of the child’s language development and state.

How is the remote administration of the comprehensive psychological/psycho-educational evaluation different to that provided in person?

The parents will be more actively involved in the evaluation as there are subtests within the WISC-V that requires timing and handling of response booklets. Prior to the evaluation, the parents will be provided with guidance on how to support their child during the evaluation. The WISC-V Block Design subtest which is used to measure a child’s visual-spatial coordination abilities will be excluded from the evaluation as a professional is needed to guide the child in using the evaluation tool. The performance results from the Visual Puzzles subtest will be substituted in calculating the scores. More information regarding the tele-practice of WISC-V can be found in the link below provided by Pearson.

지금, 나는 행복합니다

"다른 곳에서는 전혀 짚어주지 않았던 발달장애까지 말씀을 해주셔서 그 사건 이후의 혼란을 정리하고 진정한 나를 되찾을 수 있었던 것 같습니다."
PE DBT 치료 내담자
지속노출치료와 DBT를 약 2년간 진행했습니다. 치료 이후 트라우마 관련된 기억이 불쑥불쑥 떠오르는 증상이 사라졌고 그것과 동반되는 분노 발작의 세기가 줄어들었습니다. 10년간 트라우마때문에 내 본 모습을 잃어버렸다고 느꼈는데 원래의 나를 되찾은 것 같습니다. 그전에는 책 읽고 혼자 있는 것을 좋아했지만, 그 일 이후로 그러지 못하게 되었는데 다시 그런 취미 생활을 즐길 수 있게 되었습니다.
 
처음에 상담을 받았을 때부터 다른 곳과 달리 성폭력 트라우마에 전문적이라는 인상을 받아서 이 곳에서 상담을 시작했습니다. 상담을 받는 중에는 오히려 전보다 더 많이 울게 되는 것 같아서 힘들 때도 있었는데, 어느 순간 증상이 많이 나아진 것을 스스로 느끼고 놀랐었던 기억이 납니다. 또한 다른 곳에서는 전혀 짚어주지 않았던 발달장애까지 말씀을 해주셔서 그 사건 이후의 혼란을 정리하고 진정한 나를 되찾을 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 앞으로의 미래에 대한 걱정이 없지 않지만, 지금은 행복해졌다고 말할 수 있습니다.

2023 Active Learning Winter Intensive Program

“Some parents with children who have language development and acquisition delays
and/or emotional and behavioral difficulties come to our clinic,
and they say that the number of medication is growing
but the children do not get better.

I have to calmly explain to them that the children will not get better immediately.
I have to explain that it takes time
because the children have developed secondary symptoms already
on top of their initial language or learning difficulties.

Our School of Life | Active Learning Center is a special place just for those children.
Accepting the child’s current conditions calmly,
developing and implementing neuropsychological routes to treat the developmental delay.

Some of the children who came to us are now looking forward to going to college.
They have completed college preparation which seemed impossible in the beginning.

We invite parents and children who want to make small miracles
through our 2023 Winter Intensive Program."
Yong Cho | Clinical Psychologist, the Tree Group / School of Life Active Learning Center

2023 Active Learning Winter Intensive Psycho-educational Program

When the bright, kind child who was exposed to English at birth came to the clinic for the first time, he did not answer other people’s questions and showed signs of depression. According to his comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation, his English development was delayed and he showed difficulties in phonemic awareness and phonetic recognition. 

 

School of Life – Active Learning Center’s team of clinicians developed individualized psycho-educational strategies and implemented them. Consequently, the child started being aware of the sounds of different letters and the word meaning. He no longer presents with a quiet voice. His loud, confident voice echoes in the clinic. He is now happily conversing with teachers and parents without avoiding challenges and continues to develop his own strategies like a hero.

 

The Tree Group’s Active Learning Programs aim to help children’s developmental, emotional, behavioral difficulties and to improve their learning behavior by stimulating their language acquisition. The ultimate goal is to evaluate the child’s difficulties through a comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation and to develop individualized behavioral strategies, so that the child can have the problem behaviors treated and acquire independent learning habits.

English language development and building confidence: present what I learned with a loud voice like a hero

“How does phonemic awareness and phonetic recognition influence language development delay?

The importance of developing clinical strategies for treating language development delay"
Yekyung Kim, BSc.
“I’m going to present what I learned today in class.”
 

A loud voice echoes inside the clinic. The voice comes from a bright child who can confidently present what he learned in front of teachers, parents and friends. In the past year, the child has achieved many clinical and psycho-educational treatment goals.  

 

When the bright, kind child who was born in an English speaking country to the clinic for the first time, he did not answer other people’s questions and showed signs of depression. According to his comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation, his English development was delayed and he showed difficulties in phonemic awareness and phonetic recognition, which led him to have speech therapy for several years.

 

For example, he struggled to differentiation the sounds of /r/ and /th/ in words. He showed confusion in phonemic awareness and phonetic recognition, exacerbating his English language acquisition. He needed an individualized strategy to recognize phonetics and its relation to English alphabet letters. 

 

School of Life – Active Learning Center’s team of clinicians developed individualized psycho-educational strategies and implemented them. Consequently, the child started being aware of the sounds of different letters and the word meaning. 

 

As the child started developing his English language further, he was able to learn academic contents in English and was now capable of presenting what he learned in class.

 

Although he could present confidently in front of teachers, he was passive and dazed when he was asked to present in front of other people. Our behavioral analysis discovered a certain behavioral pattern. When he was given a difficult question or a challenging task, adults around him answered the question and completed the task for him. His repeated patterns of low self-esteem and helplessness was caused by other people’s constant helping behavior. 

 

A language development delay can lead to secondary symptoms such as emotional, behavioral difficulties. Therefore, it is important that psychological treatments target both language development and behavioral difficulties at the same time. Once the child acquired the class materials, exposure therapy strategies were used for him to overcome challenging situations.

 

During his presentations, he read the English letters and words that he wrote, processed them, and pronounced them out loud to provoke his phonological awareness. Consequently, he was able to improve his problem behaviors. 

He no longer presents with a quiet voice. His loud, confident voice echoes in the clinic. He is now happily conversing with teachers and parents without avoiding challenges and continues to develop his own strategies like a hero.
