Developmentally Based, Relationally Focused Integrative Psychotherapy

Richard G. Erskine & Amaia Maruriz-Etxabe
Sponsored by Instituto Bilbao de Psicoterapia Integrativa

Five-day Residential Workshop : June 10 through June 14, 2025
Bilbao, Spain

This five day experiential workshop will focus on the centrality of the therapeutic relationship while emphasising the in-depth methods of a psychotherapy that integrates the client's affect, cognition, physiology and behaviour. The themes of this residential workshop may include life scripts, unconscious pre-reflective patterns, non-verbal communication, introjection, and physiological survival reactions. Various methods may be taught and demonstrated:

• therapy from a child development perspective;
• establishing an involved therapeutic relationship;
• facilitating a safe, supportive regression;
• providing body-centred psychotherapy; and,
• the effective use of the relational methods of inquiry, attunement, and involvement.

This experiential workshop is for mental health professionals who want to apply theory in clinical practice and to enhance their effectiveness through identifying aspects of their own contact interruption, life script, and countertransference.

Dr. Erskine will do live therapy with some of the members of the group. He will then discuss the theory and methods used in the live therapy.

Participants are requested to read The Art and Science of Relationship:The Practice of Integrative Psychotherapy by Richard G. Erskine and Janet P. Moursund (2022, Phoenix/Karnak) and come to the workshop prepared to ask questions and engage in a lively discussion about the theory and methods of a developmentally based, relationally focused Integrative Psychotherapy.
