The Clinical Practice of Self Psychology

The clinical practice of self psychology is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and strengthening a person’s sense of self—how they see and feel about themselves. It emphasizes the importance of empathetic relationship-building between the therapist and client to address issues like low self-esteem or emotional difficulties. By providing consistent validation and understanding, therapy helps individuals develop a healthier, more integrated sense of identity, resilience, and self-worth, fostering emotional well-being and personal growth.
