The Dynamics of Power and Privilege in Psychotherapy

Societal issues based in power and privilege inevitably enter the therapy room. In this video, Malin Fors offers a fresh synthesis of ideas to unmask these hidden dynamics and in the process improve therapeutic relationships and outcomes.

In this DVD, Malin Fors demonstrates and discusses clinical topics, such as voluntary and involuntary self-disclosure, similarities between patient and therapist, and internalized oppression, and then highlights specific moments in the demonstration session where client–therapist power dynamics come into play.
