Just finished "Pregnant Man" which is about hypnotherapy. It seems that this is often combined with both CBT and Psychodynamic techniques. I have no experience with it but in reading it seems that the emotions (attached to memories) come first, then coping techniques. But, a base of safety is established initially. (Ok, is this the cart or the horse?)
I can see how Psychodynamic techniques would work in a group, but how about CBT? I think it might feel confrontational. Again, not my experience, just curious.
FYI, my son reports from his classes at UC Berkeley that the trend in psychology being emphasized there has shifted back to Psychodynamics, especially Kohut/self theory and away from the behaviorists.
