0:00.0 | When I first entered the field about 20 years ago, I was exposed to several different theories |
0:12.8 | of psychotherapy. |
0:15.0 | I was exposed to cognitive theory, behavioral theory, narrative therapy, all the various |
0:22.9 | different, you know, dozens and dozens of different psychotherapy theories, and yet one |
0:30.1 | of them really resonated with me, and that was object relations, more specifically at |
0:37.3 | the time I was exposed specifically to object relations family therapy. |
0:43.3 | And it's interesting to me because 20 years, hence, I still find object relations in |

1:33.5 | It's a common graduate school practice, and I chose object relations theory and barely |
1:41.2 | understood it. |
1:42.2 | In fact, I would venture to say it probably took me about 15 years to really even halfway |
1:48.6 | grasp what object relations and psychodynamic theory was, and it wasn't really until, I |
1:56.9 | don't know, I was probably almost done with my doctorate years later, and it was given |
2:02.8 | ample opportunity to read and write and talk and research and all this kind of stuff. |
