SEMINAR DESCRIPTION |
||||||||||
A membership meeting at 8:45AM will precede the symposium, beginning at 9:00 AM. The APS Board will be introduced and officers will give a report of activities and lead discussion of topics members might present. Members are encouraged to attend and participate, but may only attend the Lerner Scholars Symposium if they prefer. Dr. Hilsenroth's presentation explores the importance of affect-focused techniques in psychodynamic psychotherapy. He will begin with a review of relevant theory concerning affect-focus in dynamic treatments. Next, empirical research on the relationship between therapist facilitation of patient emotional experience/expression and outcome in psychodynamic psychotherapy is systematically reviewed. Finally, the clinical implications of these studies are highlighted by integrating clinical examples of therapeutic interventions. Dr. Gorney will present a case rich in affect-focused involvement for this component of the program. The structure of this symposium involves a unique dimensionality which is sure to yield much enriching discussion. |
