How Does Bilingual Psychotherapy Work? Ideas for Interns in Training through STORYTELLING!

Norma Royale Wilder knew she wanted to learn Spanish at thirteen years old. She also had a lifetime dream to write a book when she retired. Here it is, a resource book, not a textbook, for interns in training to be Marriage, Family Therapists or Social Workers. Ms. Wilder began her own training in this field at age forty-five after teaching Spanish and English as Foreign Languages in eight countries for twenty-five years. Some of the information will be in the course work, but it is unusual to peek into a consulting room, which is normally totally confidential.

Ms. Wilder offers unknown and interesting stories and ideas of how it all works. She has chosen these stories with permission of her clients she had when she thought the story provided a "teaching moment" for an intern just entering this exciting field of study.

Perhaps one percent of the world population goes to therapy. This number includes the people trained to do the work - psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and marriage, family therapists. A new science only two hundred years old, psychology has evolved into a fresh way to serve the population that seeks its help.

About the Author

Norma Royale Wilder hopes there will be public interest in her book as the mental health statistics in the United States currently show staggering crises for its application. Since so little is known about therapy, especially bilingual psychotherapy, this short book could educate many people.

Ms. Wilder was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala, Central America, from 1963-65, taught Spanish and English as foreign languages, and has a Master's Degree in Spanish and South American Literature from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She later got a Master's Degree in Depth Psychology from the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, California where Jungian Psychology is taught. She has worked as a bilingual psychotherapist in Santa Barbara, California for thirty years.
