Program Description
This discussion will explore the frame and setting of sessions; that which is constant

be used to explore both the firmness and flexibility required of the therapist to allow the
patients’ themes and conflicts to emerge.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the program participants should be able to:
- Identify the aspects of the clinical situation and therapeutic frame that need to remain fixed
- Identify qualities of mental attitude needed by the therapist to respond to a specific
patient’s oscillating states of mind - Recognize the aim of both variants and invariants in the frame is to develop potential for transformation within the session
