Course Description
Control Mastery Theory is a locally grown psychoanalytic theory with a strong cognitive component that has the distinction of being research based. The theory is extremely useful in thinking systematically about cases, especially at those moments when successful interaction around themes that have emerged may be critical to the progress of therapy. Participants will learn to develop CMT case formulations by identifying pathogenic beliefs and the patient's unconscious plan for therapy from the early sessions of treatment.

Course Objectives
  • Participants will learn to apply Control Mastery Theory and principles to clinical cases.
  • Participants will learn to develop CMT case formulations by identifying: 1) pathogenic beliefs 2) the patient's unconscious testing of the therapist and 3) the patient's unconscious plan for therapy.
  • Participants will understand the elements of personal style the therapist brings to the therapeutic relationship that promote the safety necessary for development.
