Fundamentals of Psychotherapy

May 17, 2019

Presented by Bita Mesri, MA

The presentation will cover basic psychotherapy techniques with a focus on motivational interviewing. We will primarily use role-plays to practice skills (e.g., validating individual without colluding with delusion). We will also cover how to balance a non-judgmental stance of patients’ current situations with the simultaneous desire to help them change in the future.
