This program will explore new guiding principles and practical methodologies presented in See Me as a Person: Creating Therapeutic Relationships with Patients and their Families (Koloroutis & Trout, 2012). It is suggested that caregivers adopt a way of thinking that supports their ability to see patients as human beings who desire and deserve human connection –people who, in their vulnerable state, hunger to be seen as people perhaps as much as they hunger for a cure. Presenters will discuss and role play Koloroutis’ principles of wondering, following, holding and presence through attunement.
