Description: The therapeutic frame refers to ongoing ground rules in treatment. In psychotherapy, these guidelines create a secure environment where clients can be open in new ways. Keeping the frame is an evolving, often subtle intervention that the therapist maintains throughout treatment. The duration of a session, payment, cancellations, outside communications, and therapist self-disclosure are all examples. While client and therapist deviations from the frame are rich opportunities for growth, they can be emotionally challenging for therapists. Let’s talk about it!
