Psychotherapy With The Unmotivated Patient

Therapist Training The Unmotivated Patient DVD VIDEO EDUCATIONAL learn technique Type: Movie Platform: DVD Publisher: Psychotherapy Net Released: 2006 Media: DVD This video depicts renowned therapist Erving artfully and adeptly plying his trade with a client, the type of client we have all struggled with: bright, cynical, detached, overly-intellectual, and determined to defeat this therapist as he has previous ones. His approach: "Obvious therapeutic techniques will alienate the person. Instead I'll try to make close contact with him, more like a uncle than a therapist, meeting and matching him with humor, confrontation, and common sense. Everything I say will be as close to the truth and responsive." In vignettes over the course of treatment, we watch continuously engage him in here-and-now interactions, matching wits, joining with humor, and challenging defenses with a delicate balance of confrontation and empathy.
