    For Dolores, Whitaker was not just a storyteller. He was often silent and even falling into a trance-like state and coming back to say something prescient or painful to hear. He also told dark stories that were relevant. The most helpful part of his therapy is seldom discussed. He was spontaneous and able to physically move about, to take the stairs two at a time. This side of him in middle age was life-affirming and vital for my own responsiveness. He was earthy and honest and that was also helpful.

    This guy sounds like one of those therapists who just sits and tells stories for entertainment - his too. He know the rules and ethics of counseling, but in his stories, pretends half of them don't exist. That's what makes him funny. I had a professor like this in my undergrad who was a marriage and family therapist.

    You certainly didn't listen closely enough. Standard operating procedure.

    I'm taking the NCE tomorrow. This guy's name is in our books for study, but I'm trying to figure out why. Not impressed....time to move on.

      Zachary Miller Thanks. I passed the NCE without knowing much about this guy though.

      You are missing out! He is a GENIUS in the field and has a truly unique approach to therapy.

      I know this is an old post, but he was known for having very broad and spontaneous techniques, but always promoted flexibility. He challenged families to open up and become more fully themselves and more fully together than before. Rather than pushing people a certain direction, he wanted them to loosen up and get in touch with their experiences in a deep, personal way.

      I was one of the last patients before Family Therapy became Carl's focus. Ekzpo mentioned spontaneous techniques, and I think Carl's vitality, honesty and spontaneity were part of my therapy. He was fearless but with me, he was unflinching but somehow tender. I was right in trusting him. He helped me save essential parts of my life. I always felt he was on my side, and by that I mean my positive life force. I'm not going to go more deeply here. Passing the NCE is irrelevant to how someone thinks and acts in a therapeutic session.
