Description
Description:
Personal identity is both heavily defended and reframable. When accepted as a given, rapport ensues. Patients are then challenged to define themselves: self-description, value priorities, and goals/perceived roadblocks/plan. Being held responsible for what is under their sole control minimizes regression, and promotes responsibility and morale.
Educational Objectives:
- Demonstrate how to heighten personal responsibility and minimize regression.
- Explain how to challenge patients’ competencies within the limits of safety.
