This workshop
presents basic self-psychological concepts and highlights the role
of a sustained focus on the here and now, empathic breaks,
subjective meaning, vulnerability, shifts in affect, and patients'
hopes and fears. The bulk of time will be a experience. At the end,
those techniques and concepts illustrated will be discussed.
