Relational–Cultural Therapy, 3rd Edition (Theories of Psychotherapy Series®) (EPUB)

By Judith V. Jordan PhD
In this third edition, Judith Jordan explores the history, theory, and practice of relationship-centered, culturally oriented psychotherapy as a tool for building meaningful connections in a world of increasing isolation.   This essential primer is ideal for students and practitioners alike, guiding them through the ins and outs of relational–cultural therapy (RCT). New to this edition is real-world research and guidelines related to distance learning, working with marginalized groups, and working towards social justice.   Jordan built RCT upon the understanding that people need social and emotional connections to flourish. In a digital era full of uncertainty and disconnection, it is more important than ever to mend relational resilience and reestablish positive, growth-fostering relationships. The therapist therefore works to deepen their bond with the client to help them build similar bonds outside of therapy. They work with the client’s relational images based on positive and negative experiences to manage expectations and teach relationship-building skills.
