Description

 

Description: This address traces key shifts in psychotherapy, from the rise of family and brief therapy to evolving views on the unconscious and client privacy. It addresses the tension between therapy as science versus art and considers its role in settings like corrections and foster care. The importance of ethical standards and clearly defining psychotherapy is emphasized. Afterwards there is a discussion, including Otto Kernberg offering commentary on what he calls Haley's oversimplification of therapy history.

Syllabus Description: Often meetings on therapy focus on differences among therapists; overlooked is what they have in common. Basic ideas are hidden in social and political actions.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To describe how students in training often are concerned about differentiating themselves and so differ from each other.
  2. To describe three ways teachers can encourage differing ideas for various reasons.
