Summary:

In this video, Drs. Jairo Fuertes, Kathryn Kline, Amy Greaves, and Heidi Levitt discuss client contributions to psychotherapeutic process and outcome, a discussion framing a therapy session between Dr. Kline and a client. In the session, Dr. Kline explores the client's dating life and relationship to emotions such as sadness. She processes with the client her attempts to avoid sadness and relational commitment with others, in particular with a man she has been romantically pursuing, noting parts of her that want to avoid having needs. Following the session, Drs. Fuertes, Kline, Greaves, and Levitt discuss the session, using the metaphor of therapy as a psychological workout in which the client does much of the heavy lifting. They identify points at which the client uses or resists Dr. Kline's interventions in an attempt to better understand how she shapes much of the process and outcome of therapy.
