Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
Dr. Jonathan Shedler is well known for his work on the efficacy of psychodynamic therapy. He has highlighted the importance of the initial phase of therapy in establishing a foundation for successful treatment. Dr. Shedler strongly believes the consultation phase is crucial to developing a working alliance between client and therapist and building a treatment frame and structure. Without this foundation, there is no mutual understanding about the goal or the purpose of treatment, and psychotherapy should not move forward. Join us in this episode as Dr. Shelder discusses how to create a firm starting foundation in clinical practice.
