Video Illustrations
Here are video demonstrations of rupture resolution illustrating the principle of metacommunication. They are based on actual rupture events experienced by the investigators who play the therapist or their students who play the clients. To promote authenticity and spontaneity, the interactions were not scripted; only the initial rupture marker and case formulation were discussed in advance. Many of the demonstrations were first takes.
