BRWN-010275 - The Right Relationship for Healing: Contemporary Dynamic Skills for Clinicians

Preferred registration deadline: July 10th 3 CEUs Evidence supports that the strength of the client-therapist relationship is one of the best predictors of successful therapeutic outcomes. Clients often come to us with difficulties in their relationships and broader lives. The therapist is tasked to develop the right relationship for healing given the client’s unique landscape. This workshop combines lecture, discussion and clinical examples to examine how we have conceptualized the therapeutic relationship across the spectrum of theoretical orientations, how psychodynamic thought can be additive to any approach and what can be enhanced through our attendance to multiple channels of communication within the therapy situation. We will discuss the ways in which clients re-create their problematic relationship patterns with us and how our inevitable participation in these dynamics can be understood and used constructively. Participants will learn strategies for listening on multiple levels of awareness and engage with psychodynamic concepts that deepen our understanding of the therapeutic process.
