Original Program Date :
Length: 01:00:00
Description:
Bugental (1990) provides two demonstrations. First, Bugental works with Molly, an associate who is familiar with this approach at an advanced level. Next he works with a naïve client, demonstrating what therapy might look like on the first visit. After each session, Bugental and his client reflect upon his methods.
Educational Objectives:
- To learn interview techniques for reducing client resistances to being genuinely engaged with the therapeutic work and to be able to facilitate client inner exploration.
- To understand the division of responsibility in which the client leads content and the therapist modulates process.
