Description
Description:
Dealing with narcissistic and borderline defenses that block healthy relating can be quite challenging when dealing with couples. This short course will address ways to creatively apply core aspects of Rossi's mind-body approach to develop treatment plans and interventions that can facilitate the containment of these defenses and help reorganize the dynamics of the couple system. The integration of the psychodynamic system and cognitive behavioral perspectives will be addresses throughout the course.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe two uses of time that can be applied in the treatment of narcissistic and borderline defenses.
- To list two ways nature's utilization of containment can be applied to support therapists to learn to expand their capacity to contain the defenses of clients.
