The work of the
Jean Baker Miller Training Institute (JBMTI) is based on Relational-Cultural Theory, a model of psychological development that grew out of the collaboration of scholars, researchers, and clinicians at the Stone Center.

Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) suggests that growth-fostering relationships are a central human necessity and disconnections are the source of psychological problems.
