Relational-Cultural Therapy by Judith V. Jordan

In this third edition, Judith Jordan explores the history, theory, and practice of relationship-centered, culturally oriented psychotherapy as a tool for building meaningful connections in a world of increasing isolation. ? This essential primer is ideal for students and practitioners alike, guiding them through the ins and outs of relational amp ndash cultural therapy (RCT). New to this edition is real-world research and guidelines related to distance learning, working with marginalized groups, and working towards social justice. ? Jordan built RCT upon the understanding that people need social and emotional connections to flourish. In a digital era full of uncertainty and disconnection, it is more important than ever to mend relational resilience and reestablish positive, growth-fostering relationships. The therapist therefore works to deepen their bond with the client to help them build similar bonds outside of therapy. They work with the client amp rsquo s relational images based on positive and negative experiences to manage expectations and teach relationship-building skills.
