AD24 Dialogue 02 – “it’s not me, it’s YOU” - How to Deal with Therapeutic Resistance - Lilian Borges, MA, LPC; David Burns, MD
Original Program Date :
Length: 1:00:51
Patients with relationship problems often complain about others, blaming them for the difficulties in their relationship. This nearly always creates intense barriers to effective treatment because if therapists try to "help,"they suddenly run into a wall of resistance. In this panel, two therapists will discuss research on therapeutic resistance as well as treatment techniques from the attachment and TEAM-CBT perspectives. Outcome Resistance and Process Resistance will be described, and therapeutic strategies will be discussed.
Educational Objectives:
1. Describe Outcome Resistance and Process Resistance.
2. Describe three ways to handle relationship resistance in therapy
