Core Competencies in Relational Psychoanalysis with Dr. Roy Barsness, PhD - (2.5 CEU Hours optional add-on) - Friday, September 27, 2024 - 9:30am-12:00pm PST

Cultivating radical openness, courageous speech, and disciplined spontaneity in the psychodynamic relationship.

Pulling from the seven core competencies that evolved from his qualitative and quantitative research, this workshop with Dr. Roy Barsness will focus on: therapeutic outcome; therapeutic stance; deep listening/affective attunement; relational dynamics; patterning and linking; conflict; and courageous speech/disciplined spontaneity.

Through case presentation and robust dialogue you will broaden your understanding within the greater evolving research that understands that change and transformation within psychotherapy is dependent upon the quality of the relationship between therapist and patient. 

You will have an opportunity to reflect upon each of these disciplines/competencies, deepen your understanding of relationally-oriented theory and clinical technique, and assess your own practices from a relational psychoanalytic stance.

Familiarity with relational psychoanalysis is not assumed and participation from practitioners of all types (therapists, analysts, consultants, supervisors, students) is welcomed.


Learning Objectives:

  • Apply qualitative research skills within your own studies and practices that can assist in highlighting and enhancing non-behavioral, existential, relational modalities. 

  • Identify practical and common disciplines inherent in the relationally-focused paradigms that are useful in conducting a coherent and purposeful treatment.

  • Apply relationally-oriented practices with as clear a frame and purpose as evidenced-based models.

  • Identify relevant ethical considerations when working within a relationally-focused model.
