Therapeutic Use of Self:
Guidelines for the Therapeutic Relationship
Karen Young M.S.W., R.S.W.
Date: April 29, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Developing an understanding of the impact of the therapist’s self on the therapeutic process is core knowledge for all therapists. In
fact it is a requirement of most professional colleges.
Research shows the therapeutic relationship to be a top factor in creating change. No therapist’s use of particular models is exactly the
same because these skills are expressed through the individual therapist’s relational skills and capacity to interact with others in ways
that facilitate change. This involves the conscious and deliberate use of oneself requiring recognition of our values and attitudes and
their impact on our work.
This workshop will help you to understand what is meant by use of self, and how an effective use of self involves utilization of critical
reflection, reflexivity, resonance and vulnerability. Our use of self requires maintaining a strong and clear connection to an intentional
relational posture.
