Constructivist Therapy

In Constructivist Therapy, Dr. Robert A. Neimeyer demonstrates this client-centered, empathic form of therapy, showing how a psychotherapist might find the narrative threads that will help troubled individuals reweave the fabric of their lives. In this session, Dr. Neimeyer "leads from one step behind," helping a client whose son has died find a way to deal with the issues that she senses must be addressed.

Watch the client invite Dr. Neimeyer to take the next necessary steps in allowing her to elaborate her relation to the problem, to articulate the deeply personal revelations that must find words and expression, and to look for hopeful possibilities.
