S1E6: Meaningful Interpretation
Manage episode 407334401 series 3561991
This talk is the final of three that Dr. Ed Podvoll gave at Naropa University in 1986 on “countertransference.” Ed focuses on the act of interpretation—when a psychotherapist verbalizes to a client their hypothesis of what is psychologically going on for that client. Ed speaks to the pressure that mounts for a therapist to say something meaningful. Ed describes varieties of such interpretations and their effect—for good and ill—on giver and receiver. The talk closes with a Q&A session.
