COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course equips clinicians with a versatile framework to navigate challenging moments in therapy when “stuck” points arise. Led by Dr. Julia Mackaronis and Dr. Ken Critchfield, experts in psychotherapy process and SASB, this course explores how relational patterns influence therapeutic dynamics and client behaviors. Listeners will learn to track interpersonal behaviors across dimensions of warmth, hostility, independence, and enmeshment to enhance conceptualization and intervention strategies. With applications spanning CBT, attachment-based therapies, and beyond, this course empowers therapists to decode complex relational patterns, foster collaboration, and deepen therapeutic alliances in their practice.
