CC12 Workshop 07 – Imago Dialogue: The Listening Cure - Harville Hendrix, PhD
Original Program Date :
Length: 1:55:52
Description:
Ever since Freud’s patient dubbed psychoanalysis a “talking cure,” most forms of therapy include someone talking to a professional. This workshop posits that therapy consists not so much in the action of talking but in the experience of how one is listened to while they talk, and that the more accurate name for successful therapy is the “listening cure.”
Educational Objectives:
- Discuss the etiology of the “talking cure” as emblematic of therapy.
- Explain the power of the therapeutic process as a function of the stance of the listener.
