Credits:
1
Objectives:
At the completion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Understand the classifications of attachment styles in infants and their adult correlates
• Explore how psychopathology develops as a result of attachment issues
Description:
The therapeutic relationship is the heart of therapeutic practice. Decades of research indicate that the provision of therapy is an interpersonal process in which the main curative component is the nature of the therapeutic relationship.
In this program, we look at many aspects of the constantly evolving therapeutic relationship, taking into account important new knowledge gained from neuroscience, infant research, theory about attachment, and the seismic changes in our culture which affect all aspects of our world view.
Probably the most significant change in the treatment process has come with the opening up of the therapeutic relationship. Once a stiff, one-person, "blank screen" model, where the therapist was the all-knowing, powerful "expert", now psychotherapy is viewed by virtually all the varieties of "talk therapy" as a collaborative process.
