The course will present a model guided by the inherent human need/need for relationship, as well as, in certain cases, the need for contradictory individuation as a lifelong challenge.
Starting from the integrated comparative theory of personality, we will explore:
– How we make sense of the phenomenology of client action
access?
- How can we understand the essential challenges of life,
What underlies the pathology of personality disorders?
- What are more functional coping and adaptation mechanisms
For a different and different character style?
- How to approach these issues with compassion and empathy in psychotherapy
in the process?
In the process of relationship with the client, from the first telephone contact to the last
Before the session, we create a shared narrative.
– What information do these stories provide specific to our client?
About the tragedy of development?
– How do we build a consistent comparative theoretical foundation that helps in diagnosis, psychotherapy planning, and subsequent clinical intervention?
Several integrative models will be used as examples of a comparative approach to assessment and diagnosis. Participants will reflect on their practice with clients in small groups.
Presentation and supervision of cases will be possible. Objectives and program of the training course:
