- Summary:
- Connecting and engaging with clients in a virtual setting can be challenging, whether it is due to technical issues, background ambient noise, or a general sense of disconnection due to the absence of an in-person presence. In this video, Dr. Robert A. Neimeyer effectively demonstrates his approach to establishing therapeutic presence and alliance-building with the client while simultaneously working with the client's experience of grief using a constructivist approach that centers on meaning making. Watch as Dr. Neimeyer demonstrates how grief therapy as meaning reconstruction helps clients review and revise their self-narratives in light of their losses. During the demonstration, Dr. Neimeyer fully maintains engagement by helping the client identify implicit needs to address points of fixation and blockage that hinder the integration of the meaning of the loss in adaptive terms. During the interview, Dr. Robert A. Neimeyer discusses with host, Dr. Darcy Harris, the elements of restorative retelling of the event of the death or loss, the restorative realignment of the back story of the relationship to the deceased, as well as the restorative revision story of the mourner's identity, all while seamlessly maintaining a compassionate, yet affirming presence with the client online. This session features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of a composite of different cases
