Description
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:
- Describe the importance of small steps in therapy.
- Describe the therapeutic flow of experience.
- Elicit key stories about personal experiences and to highlight feelings and insights.
