[Audio Download] EP17 Workshop 32 – Convergence of Therapist’s Personhood and Method – Erving Polster, PhD

Description:

Concentration, curiosity, fascination and simplicity of observation are natural agents of personhood. Dr. Polster will show how these are interwoven with four cornerstones of methodology. These are: the tightening of therapeutic sequences, establishing good quality contact, eliciting relevant stories, and identifying parts of the self. Live therapeutic sessions will illustrate the principles.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe the importance of small steps in therapy.
2. Describe the therapeutic flow of experience.
3. Elicit key stories about personal experiences and to highlight feelings and insights.
