Description
Description:
Human experience and human action center in and derive from human subjectivity. Our preoccupation with objectivity results displaces identity from inner living to external. Life-changing psychotherapy requires centered awareness and self-direction. Three therapeutic elements are prime: Full presence, major commitment, and exploring client's self-and-world constructs.
Educational Objectives:
- To teach the inescapable of primacy of the subjective to all human experience and activity and to show how this has been neglected in much psychotherapy writing and teaching
- To propose three characteristics of a truly subjectively oriented psychotherapeutic approach: emphasis on presence, insistence on a major commitment, and exploration of the client's self-definition and conception of the world
- To demonstrate the power of a process-centered perspective in fulfilling these three objectives and thereby celebrating the richness of the subjective
