Description
Description: Bader reveals six confrontation styles—from gentle interventions to powerful 'bombshell' techniques—that help therapists challenge clients while maintaining therapeutic rapport. Learn how strategic confrontation can transform relationship dynamics and support couples' growth.
Syllabus Description: While confrontation is often the best way to help clients examine their contribution to a problem, many therapists feels anxious about the tension aroused during confrontation. Leam to employ confrontation in couples work with special emphasis on matching the intensity of the confrontation- gentle to tough- with the level of impasse. The focus will be on how to select what to confront, when to confront, and how to build a confrontation over time. You will leave this session with a firmer grasp of the attitude and posture necessary to use confrontation more effectively in your work.
Educational Objectives:
- To identify two untenable behaviors requiring confrontation in couples therapy.
- To describe a repetitive cycle of confrontation that can occur in every session.
