In this workshop, Dr. Levenson will illustrate the principles and practice of Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP) and Dr. Jinich Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). This introductory / intermediate workshop will give practical information to therapists who wish to “make every session count” with their clients. These approaches privilege accessing deep emotion and experiential learning as well as new reflective, narrative learning. Video segments of actual therapy sessions with real clients will be shown. The emphasis in the presentations will be on a pragmatic “how to do it” focus, creating a bridge from the specifics of theory to the reality of practice. Ongoing interaction with workshop participants will keep the learning experience active and relevant.
