Personality-guided relational psychotherapy for abuse and trauma victims
1 streaming video file (36 min., 13 sec.)
Jeffrey J. Magnavita demonstrates his personality-guided relational psychotherapeutic approach with an adult woman in an ongoing abusive and toxic relationship with her mother. The client seeks help with asserting herself toward her mother while ending the pattern of displacement on to her daughter. In their final session together, Magnavita and the client discuss how changing her reinforcement patterns with her mother have improved their interactions and have allowed her to stop the multigenerational transmission process of abuse toward her daughter. Magnavita establishes a relapse prevention plan that includes journal writing, maintaining a nonreactive position, and initiating direct and firm dialogue with her mother about her abusive behavior.
