“…Responsiveness is not taught as a specific skill in graduate programs (Silberschatz, 2021;Tishby, 2021;Wu, 2020), leading Silberschatz (2021) to suggest: "Instead of training therapists to adopt a specified technique for patients who share a diagnosis, therapists need to receive more training on how to be more responsive to their patients' particular problems, goals, and needs" (p. 148). Training in responsiveness needs to focus on increasing mutual recognition and emotional attunement, identifying and managing CT, and becoming aware of the role that clients' and therapists' attachment styles can play in the interaction so that these can be moderated, as well as learning to recognize and attend to different therapist, client, and interpersonal signals in each approach and across different approaches in order to respond more appropriately.…”
