ABOUT THIS SERIES
Often out of fear of shaming the patient, being perceived as “judgmental,” or worrying that the patient may drop out of treatment, therapists may stumble — or avoid entirely — the opportunity to engage patients in analyzing their provocative or self-defeating behaviors. Therapists may, perhaps unwittingly, selectively ignore these behaviors, thereby risking their inevitable escalation.
Such behaviors can range from extreme acts such as unprotected sex, substance abuse, or compulsive internet use, to subtler forms of acting out, such as habitual lateness to appointments or difficulties with paying bills and spending. Through participants’ case material, Dr. Moses will take us though an exploration of how inquiry and free association can help mobilize reluctant therapists to assist patients in translating action into words.
