Relational Psychoanalytic Techniques

The relational approach emphasizes the importance of the therapist’s authenticity and willingness to be a part of the therapeutic relationship. It focuses on the relationship that is being developed between the therapist and client, one that is often characterized by a process of rupture and repair. Working through these ruptures in the client-therapist relationship allows the client to realize himself as being able to work through the inevitable conflicts in his relationships with others.
