[Audio] EP85 Workshop 15 – Support and Integration in Gestalt Therapy – Miriam Polster, Ph.D.

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:

1. To define and describe the three phases of integration: Support, accommodation, and assimilation
2. 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
