Chapter 3 Video Post: "Focusing on Past Relationships in Therapy"

"Focusing on Past Relationships in Therapy" Video

In this video, the client and therapist are siting face to face discussing the client's thoughts on fatherhood. During the video the thoughts of the therapist are voiced over the video to help the audience pick up on cues and the therapist's quick analysis of comments made by the client. 

This video seems to demonstrate a relational psychoanalysis approach, in which the environment is constructed to encourage transference. Also, during the video the client mentions having a fear of following in his father's footsteps. The client also slips during the convrsations and uses father instead of another word, demonstrating that the relationship between the client and his father may have harbored unconscious thoughts in the client. Thus, effecting the client's relationship with his unborn child.
