Drs. Edward Teyber and Faith McClure Teyber return to California Southern University to continue their discussion about the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle for transformation and change, highlighting critical, core concepts that are widely employed across the relationally oriented therapies. In this lecture, the presenters will focus on their recently published article “Working with the Process Dimension in Relational Therapies: Guidelines for Clinical Training,” which explores how process—the “here-and-now interaction between therapist and client”—can be utilized to make these relational treatment modalities more effective. After a short introduction to the topic, Drs. Teyber and McClure Teyber will engage the audience in an interactive discussion that will reveal how the process and process comments often constitute the variable that make relational constructs work, “bringing immediacy and intensity to the therapeutic relationship and giving us a way to enter the client’s distress and engage with their core concerns,” as the authors note in the article.
