Working With Difficult-to-Treat Clients
Working With Difficult-to-Treat Clients
Dr. Larry Hedges
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Many people have experienced developmental traumas early in life that they have no way to speak about but they can show us the difficulty by engaging us in mutual enactments in the transference-countertransference realm. A Relational/Developmental perspective will be taken on how to work with areas of deep trauma. Case illustrations will be given and participants will be invited to discuss difficult treatment dilemmas they are experiencing.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the course participants will be able to
- Predict how early traumas may result in clients becoming especially difficult-to-treat.
- Contrast clinical techniques for traumas that can be verbalized versus traumatic situations that occurred during the period of preverbal development.
- List three relational techniques for resolving early developmental traumas.
