    • Psychotherapy
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Relational theory has faced criticism for overemphasizing self-disclosure and intersubjective interventions.
    • The de-emphasis of technique in relational approaches complicates the assessment of negative treatment implications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss limitations inherent in relational theory and sensibility.
    • To illustrate the negative clinical consequences of abandoning technique within relational thinking.

    Main Methods:

    • A composite case example of an 18-month psychotherapy treatment is presented.
    • The author analyzes personal clinical struggles within the context of relational theory.

    Main Results:

    • The case example highlights negative clinical implications stemming from the abandonment of technique.
    • The author's difficulties are attributed to inconsistent messaging regarding clinical technique in relational thinking.

    Conclusions:

    • Relational theory's de-emphasis on technique presents significant clinical limitations.
    • Future revisions of relational theory should focus on re-integrating technique for a more viable clinical path.
