Ruptures in the therapeutic alliance are difficult for most therapists and clients. They can be both difficult to detect, point out and, not least, handle. At the same time, we know from psychotherapy research that a successful handling of the breach of alliance strongly influences a positive therapy outcome. This way, ruptures actually represent golden therapeutic opportunities.

But how do we DO it? There is a lot of literature on the subject, but few resources for skills training. And it is precisely training that is needed when knowledge is to be passed on to skills.

That´s where this workshop comes into play!

Sexual behavior in therapy can make even the most seasoned therapist fall short. Be it implicit or explicit, verbal or non-verbal, intended or non-intended and conscious or unconscious: It has to be addressed in a way that enables the therapeutic alliance to do work. These situations are very evocative, leading to an array of distracting reactions within the therapist. As the sexual behavior often is subtle, implicit and non-verbal, addressing it may feel extra tricky. Approaching sexual behavior is thus known to be challenging and may frequently be avoided by the therapist – to the disadvantage of the client.

Vidar M. Husby and Elisabet Rosén are both licensed psychologists, specialists in clinical psychology and Certified Deliberate Practice Supervisors.
