Psychodynamic Skills in Individual and Group Rehabilitation Work Through the Lens of the Recovery Approach
About the Course
Rehabilitative work is based on interpersonal relationships. Rehabilitation professionals support individuals coping with a variety of mental limitations (reality testing disorders, PTSD, CPTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, etc.). Working with diverse challenges encourages an integrative perspective on rehabilitative processes. In this course, we will examine individual and group rehabilitative interventions from a psychodynamic viewpoint, and delve into the components of the rehabilitative relationship that foster recovery. Through case studies and analysis of transcripts from rehabilitative conversations, we will discuss the dynamic processes that unfold in rehabilitative relationships, and learn practical tools tailored for rehabilitative work across a broad spectrum of challenges and mental states.
Course Objective
