Cette vidéo comprend une séance de thérapie avec deux clients: Monde et Nick. Monde est une femme de 32 ans mariée et mère de trois enfants. Monde a eu trois séances de thérapie avec le Dr Erickson et a déjà été exposé à l'hypnose. Monde consulte le Dr Erickson parce qu’elle ne se sent pas sûre d’elle-même en tant que personne, mère et épouse. L’autre client, Nick, est un étudiant en deuxième année de collège âgé de 20 ans qui n’a aucune expérience en matière d’hypnose ou de psychothérapie. De plus, Nick est une connaissance de Monde et de son mari. La séance de thérapie se déroule en deux parties: la première partie concerne Monde en tant que patient principal tandis que Nick est le patient secondaire et la deuxième partie, Nick en tant que patient principal et Monde en tant que patient secondaire. Cette vidéo est en anglais avec une transcription en français.
This training tool contains segments of hypnotherapy conducted by Erickson, with the same subject, on two consecutive days in 1978. Erickson demonstrates how symbols may be used as metaphoric forms of communication to foster new ideas and understandings. Zeig discusses Erickson’s technique.
Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher discusses three brain systems that evolved for mating and reproduction: the sex drive; feelings of intense romantic love; and feelings of deep attachment to a long term partner. She then focuses on her brain scanning research (using fMRI) on romantic rejection and the trajectory of love addiction following rejection. She concludes with discussion of the brain circuits associated with long-term partnership happiness and the future of relationships in the digital age—what she calls “slow love.”
This one-hour presentation will demonstrate cross-dialogic and other strategic techniques for shepherding couples toward secure functioning, an attitudinal and behavioral expectation that couples operate as a two-person psychological system. Because the concept of secure-functioning is principle based and not personality based, the success of secure-functioning relationships does not depend upon attachment orientation. The presentation will endeavor to help the clinician utilize psychobiological strategies to help clarify partner attachment strategies, true desires, and unspoken agendas in couple therapy.
The psychobiologically oriented couple therapist understands that the intersubjective, phenomenological process operating in primary attachment relationships relies heavily on fast acting implicit memory systems. Because of this phenomenon partners in a relationship rarely know what they are doing or why, and so they confabulate meaning in the absence of real understanding. Additionally, partners in couple therapy maintain hidden agendas and use deception in order to protect themselves from loss.
All couples and couples therapies struggle with issues of mixed loyalties. At any given moment, do I choose my own fulfillment as an individual or do I yield to the needs of the relationship? Is it a zero-sum game in which one partner wins and one loses – and if not, how else can we think about it? This keynote address introduces a model integrating both attachment and differentiation in couples therapy through the idea of enlightened self-interest – taking care of yourself by taking care of the relationship – as well as a model of healthy sacrifice, which is missing in our contemporary, Narcissistic culture.
