Description
Description:
Invited Address Session 11 Part 1 from the Evolution of Psychotherapy 1995 – The Therapeutic Power of Attention: Theory and Techniques
Featuring Erving Polster, PhD; with discussant Ernest Rossi, PhD.
Moderated by W Michael Munion, MA.
The focus and re-focus of attention is represented everywhere in psychotherapy; nowhere more pointedly than in hypnosis, meditation and the gestalt concept of concentration. Expanding on these techniques, Dr. Polster offers three options for heightening attention in the ordinary therapeutic relationship: tight therapeutic sequences, the reconstruction of storyline and the spotlighting of selves. Each of these impels attention, helping to create an imbeddedness into previously squandered ingredients of the patient's life.
Educational Objectives:
- To name three fundamental therapeutic concepts that implicitly incorporate the concept of attention.
- To name three major therapeutic vehicles for establishing both focus and versatility of attention.
- To name the three elements of the attention triad.
