Abstract or brief
introduction of the workshop
|
Participants in this
workshop will learn about the Core
Conflictual Relationship Theme Method and
Supportive Expressive Therapy. The workshop
will enable attendees to learn more about
modern clinical methods and clinical
research in the area of interpersonal core
conflicts and brief dynamic psychotherapy.
The CCRT method has been used to study
scientific concepts derived from
psychoanalytic theory and psychodynamic
therapy. In addition, it is a way to
formulate the main issues that patients
bring to psychotherapy. It is a lively
method to use and trainees of all kinds like
the method as it provides them with a way to
zero in on the core interpersonal struggles
that the patient has. The method can be
taught using clinical material that I will
bring. The teaching is often reinforced by
having a few clinicians in the audience tell
about a case of theirs and using that case
to delineate an idiosyncratic CCRT.
The learning of the CCRT method will be
supplemented by the review of its scientific
evidence in terms of its construct validity.
For example, we will address the content of
the CCRT in different psychiatric disorders,
its stability over time, its change during
psychotherapy, and its use in guiding and
focusing the treatment interventions.
The use of the CCRT method will be
integrated with its use in the delivery of
supportive expressive therapy, a manualized
form of psychoanalytic psychotherapy that
has received much research attention.
Supportive expressive therapy has been
studied in opiate and cocaine addiction,
depression, generalized anxiety disorders,
avoidant personality and obsessive
compulsive disorders, and in patients with
any personality disorder.
