About the Event:
These two sessions will focus on major clinical concepts from contemporary Self Psychology and, through the use of verbatim clinical dialogue, study their implications for conducting dynamic psychotherapy. Emphasizing patient- centered rather than theory-centered treatment, we will focus on implementing an empathic listening stance and understanding of the basic theoretical concepts underlying self psychological treatment.
