Summary:Explore a clinical method that challenges clients by focusing on their sense of adult responsibility rather than childish entitlement by: Understanding the limits of empathy and attachment-based psychotherapy; Avoiding collusive alliances based on manipulation in favor of collaborative alliances based on straight talk; Recognizing partners' power to mind map and understand the impact of their own actions even when they don't acknowledge it; Learning how to create an atmosphere of challenge and truth-telling as early as possible to avoid manipulation and time-wasting; Bringing out the best in clients, which often emerges when they are coming clean about what is the worst in them.
