Description

Description:

Personal disturbance is accompanied by feelings of disconnection within one’s self and with others. Reconnection is accomplished when the therapist guides the patient into a fertile conversational stream - a moment to moment impetus toward personal resolution.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Describe important statements that have been overlooked by patients.
  2. Describe the feeling of relationship between therapist and patient.
