🔗 The art of listening

-

"Rogers believed that a therapist should be less a problem-solver, and more a sort of skilled midwife, drawing out solutions that already existed in the client. All people possess a deep urge to 'self-actualise', he believed, and it is the therapist's job to nurture this urge. They were there to 'release and strengthen the individual, rather than to intervene in his life'. Key to achieving this goal was careful, focused, 'active' listening."

🔗 Understanding and Ameliorating Revenge Fantasies in Psychotherapy -- Horowitz 164 (1): 24 -- Am J Psychiatry

Ellen had revenge fantasies toward her husband, Max, because she held him responsible for the accidental death of their 10-year-old son, Morgan. Instead of taking Morgan to ski on an intermediate slope as planned, Max had impulsively selected an advanced slope. Morgan hit a tree and later died of a head injury.
