“…Yet, teachers motivate students by encouraging and passes the baton to other students in continuing the interaction of the learning content. The improvisation technique is a unique technique where there is nothing wrong and right in it, because improvisation is a process for students to increase self-confidence in presenting ideas, concepts, principles, and theories that form-critical, analytical, logical and rational thinking (Romanelli & Tishby, 2019). Moreover, Barrett (1998); Vera and Crossan (2005) mentioned that the abundantly cultivated slogan "a mistake is a gift" among the practitioners of improvisation, means that the surprise element of mistakes may also offer imaginative turns, thus modulating mistakes into "gifts".…”

“…In music and theatre this kind of activity is described as improvisation ( Nachmanovitch, 2019 ). Experiential learning activities adapted from theatre and music training can be used in therapist training to develop skills and awareness around ways of facilitating co-production, embodied interplay and mutual empathy between client and therapist, and capacity to stay in the present moment ( Bayne and Jangha, 2016 ; Kelly et al, 2019 ; Romanelli and Tishby, 2019 ). For example, in improvisation exercises in theatre school, actors are encouraged to view the actions and statements of their impro partners as “offerings” that can be taken up and further articulated ( Johnstone, 1979 ).…”

Historically, research and practice of psychotherapy have been conducted within conceptual frameworks defined in terms of theoretical models. These models are in turn guided by meta-theories about the purpose of psychotherapy and its place in society. An image of psychotherapy that underpins much contemporary practice is the idea that therapy operates as an intervention that involves the implementation and application of a pre-existing theoretical model or set of empirically validated procedures. The present paper introduces the idea that it may be valuable to regard psychotherapy not as an intervention but instead as a process of making, in the sense of offering a cultural space for the co-construction of meaningful and satisfying ways of living that draw on shared cultural resources. We offer an overview of what a therapy of making might look like, followed by an account of theoretical perspectives, both within the psychotherapy literature and derived from wider philosophical and social science sources, that we have found valuable in terms of making sense of this way of thinking about practice. Our conclusion is that we need something in addition to theory-specific and protocol-driven therapies, in order to be able to incorporate the unexpected, the not-before-met perspective, event or practice of living, and to be open towards the radically new, the given, and the unknown.

“…This type of training enhanced trainees' spontaneity and attunement to the other, both verbally and nonverbally. In a study conducted at the Hebrew University (Romanelli & Tishby, 2019), 35 clinical social work students participated in a semester-long course on theater improvisation skills. Measures taken at the beginning and end of the semester showed that course participants reported an increase in flexibility, therapeutic presence, and collaborative tendency.…”

The unique feature of psychodynamic relational theory is its focus on therapy as an intersubjective process that occurs on both conscious and unconscious levels. Therapist and client cocreate the meaning and form a unique dyadic relationship. This chapter begins with a presentation of basic concepts in the two-person paradigm, followed by a description of relational events that therapists should be attuned to, such as negotiating the alliance, resolving ruptures in the alliance, attuning to the transference-countertransference matrix, processing enactments, and attuning to dissociated self states. These processes are illustrated by clinical vignettes with commentaries. Research in this area is still quite limited, but a number of recent studies that lend support to relational processes in therapy are presented. The chapter also addresses attunement to diversity and implications for training.
