Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To briefly outline historical development, theoretical orientation, evidence and areas of application for Conversational Model Psychotherapy.

CONCLUSIONS: Conversational Model Therapy remains an important evidence-based option in fostering recovery and growth for many patients with traumatic disruptions and restrictions of self. It is one of an emerging group of relational psychotherapies, broadly reflecting a change from a one person to a two person (intersubjective) psychological paradigm in psychotherapy.
