This workshop focuses on the SELF of the therapist in sessions with individuals and couples. If the full range of the therapist’s subjective experiences is considered clinically relevant, the therapist must become attuned to multiple sources of stimuli and plausible interpretations. In terms of couples, the therapist must look honestly inward and outward to the dynamics of the couples as a system and beyond, into the culturally determined beliefs and life events that influence both partners and the therapist.
