Sessions are 50 to 80 minutes long except for the initial interview. There
we want to get an in-depth view of your difficulties so that we can
understand the causes as rapidly as possible. For this initial interview,
you'll need to set aside 3 hours.
As far as style, I'm active throughout the session in questioning
you and giving you feedback about personality style, defense, and
resistance. Together we'll try to make sense of why you're having
difficulties and outline what we can do about it. I'm committed to
working as efficiently and as rapidly as possible so that you spend
no more time in therapy than is necessary.
I also offer the option of videotaping our meetings and strongly encourage
this as both a "quality control" measure and a way of deepening
the therapeutic process. Videotaping can increase the value of therapy
but is in no way a requirement of our working together. [After being
used for their intended purpose, the tapes are erased and do NOT become
part of your medical record.] |
