Dr. Ed Teyber to Speak at Lorenz
Lorenz hosts an Invited Practitioner Series, a continuing education event open to the regional therapist community free of charge. This fall’s speaker is Dr. Ed Teyber, an internationally renowned expert on interpersonal process in therapy (shaping corrective interpersonal experiences rather than just “talking about” things).
About This Event
“The vast majority of psychological provlems are due to injuries that were relational in nature; so too should the therapy, then, be relational in nature.” -Teyber
Therapists can talk about things until they’re blue in the face, but when clients have a different experience of themselves and of other people– that’s when real change happens. But leveraging the interpersonal process to sculpt effective interventions takes an inorfdinate amount of ego strength and reflective capacity, resources that have been in decline among therapists over the past, temultuous decade.
Join Lorenz Clinic as it hosts Ed Teyber, PhD, author of the acclaimed volume Interpersonal Process in Therapy: An Integrative Model. The discussion will be a semi-structured blend of didactic presentation, role play, and group discussion. Themes that will be given particular attention include:
- Empathic Understanding
- So called “resistance”
- Corrective interpersonal experience
- Immediacy & Therapists’ Avoidance of It
- The Here and Now
