Therapeutic Communication
Knowing What to Say When
by
Paul L. Wachtel, Ph.D.
CE Contact Hours: 31
Course Fee: $74.99
Course Format: Book
Course Description:
Therapeutic Communication—Knowing What to Say When, examines how to formulate comments to patients of psychotherapy in ways that facilitate positive therapeutic experience and avoid comments that may unintentionally counter the therapeutic purpose. Paul Wachtel’s focus on the subtle nuances of phrasing and meaning in therapist comments and their effects on patients offers a much overlooked and needed balance in training which has traditionally emphasized therapist listening skills.
Although Dr. Wachtel’s clinical work is guided by what he terms cyclical psychodynamic theory, clinicians of other theoretical persuasions, from novice to expert status, will find the rationale behind his clinical examples and recommendations is pantheoretical. Through keen observation and critical analysis, this well-seasoned clinician and distinguished professor de-mystifies and makes explicit a vital part of what constitutes the “art” of psychotherapy. This is a must-read for any serious student/practitioner of psychotherapy.

The course is filled with detailed descriptions of trance inductions and trance phenomena, and how to ethically apply solution-oriented hypnosis to assist clients in the healing process. Special attention is given to sexual abuse survivors, those presenting with pain management concerns, and somatic problems. O’Hanlon discusses the clinical rationale for utilizing solution-oriented hypnosis as well as when its use is contraindicated. He explains, in a lively and easy to understand style, when, why, and how to do trance, and what to do once clients are in trance. In helping clients evoke experience through hypnosis, O’Hanlon’s goal of making “the difference between therapy that really has an impact on people and therapy that is just a bunch of clever, good ideas” is accomplished.
