Most psychotherapists agree that “people are hurt through
relationships and they can heal through relationships.”  
Psychodynamic theories recognize the relationship existing between a
client and a therapist as the epicenter of the therapeutic process. This
workshop presents a psychodynamic perspective on how this unique
relationship develops.  We will examine the elements of how and why
therapy works with particular emphasis on the importance of forming a
therapeutic alliance and how to work with this alliance during the
beginning, middle, and termination phases.  Understanding the relational
matrix can widen clinical knowledge and promote mutual growth for both
client and therapist.
