Description
Description:
Dr. Polster will describe an attention triad of concentration, fascination and curiosity, showing how each contributes to a quasi-hypnotic conversational fluidity, reducing old influence and inviting new experience. While these are foundational, he will also spell out some specific therapeutic guidelines that have embodied his therapeutic work, illustrating this with live therapy demonstrations.
Educational Objectives:
- Name the three major elements of attention enhancement, as described in this workshop.
- Compare the actor and the therapist in their emotional involvements.
- Describe the difference between technical contact and common contact.
