Overview

Emotion is central to all forms of therapy, yet each has a distinct model for working with it. In this program, guest experts Leslie S. Greenberg, Norka T. Malberg, and Michael A. Tompkins discuss the common as well as differentiating factors across their respective approaches to emotion in an effort to understand both why such different models developed and whether there is the potential for a shared model. After examining video clips to compare and contrast the different approaches, the guest experts highlight common factors, such as the importance of emotional arousal and therapist awareness of emotion, as well as differences in areas such as the origin of emotion and how it is conceptualized. This candid conversation is intended to spark further discussion and expand viewers' understanding of this therapeutically central phenomenon.
