Corrective Emotional Experiences

- The corrective emotional experience, a concept introduced by Franz Alexander over 60 years ago, has become ubiquitous in many different forms of psychotherapy.
Alexander pointed out that in psychotherapy the patient is often re-exposed to emotionally painful incidents that could not be handled earlier in life. This re-exposure under conditions of safety that therapy provides constitutes a corrective experience that can begin to repair the pathogenic influence of previous adverse life events. There can be little doubt that corrective experiences are an important effective ingredient in psychotherapy. What is less clear is how a therapist can know what will be a corrective experience for a particular patient. In this video, with George Silberschatz, PhD, we will highlight how a therapist’s attitude or intervention that is corrective for one patient may be detrimental for another. Control-mastery theory and the patient plan formulation in particular is a useful guide for providing patients the corrective experiences they seek.

I was never able to get my head around paying someone to accept me.
Thank you,. 😊
Thanks for your great VDO, George. It is highly recommended to all of my psychiatry residents.
My psychiatrist was talking about the importance of corrective emotional experience and, having never heard the term before, I tried to find it on RUclips to see what it really was. I was able to follow the video even as a layperson and I found the examples to be particularly helpful. :)
Great video as far as it went, but like most discussions about psychotherapy, it didn't go far enough. Corrective emotional experiences within the context of therapy sessions are only part of the story. Such experiences are merely steppingstones. For therapy to be successful, the patient must also have those experiences in her daily life, and the therapist must do all he can to ensure that corrective experiences and not retraumatizations occur. I am not telling you anything you don't already know. I am merely complaining that the part of therapy devoted to helping the patient apply what she is learning in therapy to succeeding in her daily life is rarely discussed. The patient in the example wanted to understand why she argued with her husband with the hope of acting differently. All of that is very complicated, but her therapy must have contained times when she was encouraged by the therapist to take steps in her relationship with her husband that would lead to emotionally corrective outcomes and other times when emotionally corrective interpretations of failures were in order. All of that is part of therapy, too. Joe gave short shrift to that because he was introducing new elements to therapeutic theory, but a well-rounded discussion of how psychotherapy works should include it.
I am not a therapist, but I studied coaching for a year. I have a very narcissistic girlfriend and she desperately needs therapeutical help, but no-one could help her so far. She is very good in persons believing her grandiosity as the truth. But inside our romantic relation it is difficult for me to withstand her manipulations or outbursts. So, as a romantic friend, I need to know how I can respons well. So not angry, or truth setting, or feeling assaulted, but turn my respons into a corrective respons. How can I learn this??
If he still has to submit to the father in adult interaction, would the corrective experience with the therapist actually be corrective or more like a role play
