The Clinica Lopez Ibor has an educational theme that changes on a weekly basis. During my second week there, the theme was Impulse Control. We watched a video and slideshow presentation on compulsive shopping and consumerism. We sat and watched a music therapy session; which I noticed is one of the activities that the majority of patients seem the most excited for and engaged by. They also had a workshop emphasizing the importance of saying, "No." During this workshop, one patient would roleplay a person who wanted the other to do something for them, being very persistent and trying to give as many compelling reasons as to why the other should give in. The other person had to practice saying no in different ways without faltering.
It was interesting to see more of the activities and workshops specifically tailored to the weekly theme, as I had not seen as many related to the previous week's.
