Inside/Outside, Outside/Inside: Where Is the Frame?
Maria Pilar Bratko, MFT
When I began providing therapy outside of an office, I realized that I'd need to create a replacement, portable frame. This case presents two years of work with an American-born Latina adolescent at her home, at school, and at Juvenile Hall. I will exhibit how I am challenged, particularly within cultural similarity and difference, to hold an internal frame in settings out of my control. From this, I hope to discuss this concept: Do we each have an internal frame? How is it defined, activated, or made use of? While I subscribe to theoretical concepts, I believe that this topic is informed by our personal experiences.
Maria Pilar Bratko, MFT, is a bilingual (Spanish-English) psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and adolescents in private practice in Berkeley. Maria also provides therapy in the broader Bay Area, as far out as Tracy and Sacramento, to children and adolescents in homes, schools, and juvenile incarceration facilities. She holds a Master’s degree in Feminist Clinical Psychology from New College and is a graduate of The Psychotherapy Institute, where she remains active as a Board member and Chair of the Development and Marketing Committee. Presently, Maria is in her second year of a doctoral program in Clinical Social Work at The Sanville Institute.
