How
Connections Heal

Maureen Walker & Wendy Rosen

Relational-Cultural Theory offers a set of proposals about healing and change that radically re-envisions therapeutic practice. As clinicians and educators encountered the groundbreaking concepts that form the theoretical core of the model, they often asked two questions: What do these concepts look like in therapeutic practice? What do you actually do differently when working from a relational-cultural framework? How Connections Heal was written in response to those questions.

The home study course based on this volume allows the reader to engage these questions while gaining an”insider’s” view” of the relationship. The case stories featured in the How Connections Heal illustrate the multi-valenced interventions that help the clients and therapist negotiate power differentials and cultural barriers. In addition, it provides an in-depth, contextual examination of processes such as mutual empathy, therapist vulnerability, and “power-with.” Using a multiple choice question format, the home study guides the reader through some of the more nuanced values, practices and presuppositions that define growth-enhancing movement.

Course Objectives

1. To illustrate how Relational-Cultural Theory translates into practice in a variety of therapeutic venues.

2. To explicate the decisional frameworks that guide therapeutic interventions.

3. To clarify distinctions between the core concepts and practices of RCT and customary practices of traditional therapeutic models.

Continuing Education Credits: 6 CEs for psychologists, social workers, licensed mental health counselors, and marriage and family therapists.

The Complexity of Connection

Judith Jordan, Maureen Walker,& Linda Hartling

The Complexity of Connection expands the theoretical work of Relational-Cultural theory(RCT). It elaborates on the centrality of connection, exploring such developmental topics as relational competence, resilience and therapeutic applications. Further, it examines the importance of culture and issues of power and stratification in psychological development. To place culture, alongside connection, at the center of the theory is to break a critical silence. It acknowledges that social and political values inform theories of human psychology, including those that valorize separation and autonomy.

Course Objectives

1. To help integrate core RCT concepts with an analysis of  culture, race and power dynamics.

2. To examine new  therapeutic applications of RCT to work with couples, groups, and time limited therapy.

3. To facilitate familiarity with the use of RCT in understanding some workplace dynamics.

Continuing Education Credits: 6 CEs for psychologists, social workers, licensed mental health counselors, and marriage and family therapists.
