Beginning Psychotherapy IV: The secure base
Dr Joan Haliburn

Access to Lectures | Speaker

This Bowlbian term originally referred to the care-giver to whom the child turns when distressed. Dr Haliburn will talk about the need in psychotherapy to provide a setting and a frame within which the patient can begin to trust and open up their traumatic experiences with a therapist who is attuned, empathic and understanding – thereby experiencing safety and security – a secure base.
