This is an example of using the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship - what's happening in the room between client and therapist - with the hope being that it gives the client insight into their relationships with others outside the therapy room.
Dr Yalom, you're a living legend!
Hi Dr. Yalom. Is this an example of CBT?
This is an example of using the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship - what's happening in the room between client and therapist - with the hope being that it gives the client insight into their relationships with others outside the therapy room.
This is called relational reflexivity in systemic psychotherapy.
At the risk of sounding directive I would suggest reading Dr Carl Rogers book's
