Dr. Stephen Bacon: Rethinking Psychotherapy
Manage episode 426100171 series 3365331
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Stephen Bacon about his research findings that therapeutic techniques have no inherent power and that the field of psychotherapy lacks the privileged knowledge it believes it possesses. We also explore the distinction between fundamental and constructed reality and delve into what it means for psychotherapy to be a ritual, highlighting the importance of charisma in the therapist's work.
Be sure to check out his consultation groups for therapists looking to learn how to apply the constructionist approach.
