Description
Description:
Change in psychotherapy is a gradual process with predictable stages which can be understood and prepared for. Integrating new perspectives and behaviors requires attention to the needs of each of three phases: support, accommodation, and assimilation. These stages will be defined and demonstrated in work with volunteer workshop participants.
Educational Objectives:
- To define and describe the three phases of integration: Support, accommodation, and assimilation
- To apply this model of sequential change to a specific patient and show how it might orient the practitioner in working with the particular individual
