CLINICAL TRAINING

Saturday Dialogues

This workshop offers participants the opportunity to deepen their understanding of relationally-oriented theory and clinical technique. This workshop does not assume any familiarity with relational psychoanalysis and is open to practitioners of all types (therapists, analysts, consultants, supervisors, masters level students) and is intended to broaden participants’ professional skills within the greater evolving challenge of becoming more fully human.

What pARTICIPANTS are saying

“At some points I got the impression that Dr. Barsness felt like he had to pivot to keep us engaged. He didn’t! We were riveted throughout!”
“Excellent presentation. I loved this training! I wish the training had been longer. A full day would have been nice for such rich and complex material.”
“Presenter modeled the qualities he was teaching. Well done.”
“Dr. Barsness is clearly quite expert in the field and yet humble. The event felt like a gift of kindness.”
“It was an excellent conference in all regards, with good opportunities to interact will colleagues and fantastic material/presenter.”
“Having an emphasis on case material to highlight the themes of Roy’s writing was helpful.”
“Roy is a very engaging, warm and interesting presenter. I would definitely attend other trainings or lectures with him.”
“I appreciate the discussion about what is and is not meant by self-disclosure in the relational model.”
“Dr. Barsness’ case examples served to highlight ethical issues and potential pitfalls in avoiding courageous, honest speech under the guise of making sure we are staying in our ethical lane.”

SEMINAR CONTENTS

Using his extensive research, years of experience as a therapist, and the experiences of those gathered, Dr. Barsness focuses the workshop on seven core competencies: therapeutic outcome; therapeutic stance; deep listening/affective attunement; relational dynamics; patterning and linking; conflict; and courageous speech/discipline spontaneity.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Apply qualitative research skills within their own studies and practices that can assist in working confidently in non-behavioral existential, relational modalities.
  • Identify practical and common disciplines inherent in the relationally-focused paradigms that are useful in conducting a coherent and purposeful treatment.
  • Apply relationally-oriented practices with as clear a frame and purpose as evidenced-based models.
  • Identify relevant ethical considerations when working within a relationally-focused model.
