Relational cultural therapy founder - ANSJean Baker Miller
Relational cultural therapy is based on: - ANSfeminist movement and multicultural changes in

RCT compliments which movement? - ANSsocial justice - sex roles, power, dominance,
marginalization, subordination and mental health of all people
9 core tenants of RCT - ANS1. People grow through and toward relationship throughout the
lifespan.
2. Movement toward mutuality, rather than movement toward separation, characterizes mature
functioning.
, 3. Relational differentiation and elaboration characterize growth.
4. Mutual empathy and mutual empowerment are at the core of growth-fostering relationships.
5. In growth-fostering relationships, all people contribute and grow or benefit; development is
not a one-way street.
6. Therapy relationships are characterized by a special kind of mutuality.
7. Mutual empathy is the vehicle for change in therapy.
8. Real engagement and therapeutic authenticity are necessary for the development of mutual
empathy.
A primary goal of RCT - ANSis to create and maintain Mutually-Growth-Fostering Relationships,
relationships in which both parties feel that they matter.
In RCT,all of the involved parties with healthy relationships experience what is known as the
Five Good Things. These are: - ANS1) a desire to move into more relationships, because of
how a good relational experience feels; 2) a sense of zest, or energy; 3) increased knowledge of
oneself and the other person in the relationship; 4) a desire to take action both in the
growth-fostering relationship and outside of it; 5) an overall increased sense of worth.
One of the core tenets of RCT is the Central Relational Paradox (CRP). The CRP assumes that
- ANSwe all have a natural drive toward relationships, and in these relationships we long for
acceptance. However, we come to believe that there are things about us that are unacceptable
or unlovable. Thus, we choose to hide these things; we keep them out of our relationships. In
the end, the connections we make with others are not as fulfilling and validating as they
otherwise might have been.

the world. Resistance is a signal to change responses.
