Sample interpretations of memories: If you would like some help with a few of your
memories, or perhaps you want to see if you want to have a full procedure interpreted, try
having me interpret any three of your memories. Click on sample interpretation and we'll
get started. I will provide precis interpretations for these memories and offer a one
paragraph summary of the issues that you appear to be working on, based upon these
memories. If this information seems helpful, you may want to consider a full
interpretation of your protocol, which will get into more detail, or you may want to work
on your own, which could include reading some additional material on the site or in
References.

Interpretation of your Early Memories Procedure: Once you have purchased your
Early Memories Procedure (click - ONLINE BOOKSTORE -), and completed it, you may want to
consult with me about your protocol. I occasionally undertake a full interpretation of a
protocol (see References, Bruhn 1990 a, pp. 132-141, or 1992 b for examples), which
may give you more information than you need, but most people prefer a summary
interpretation, which will focus on the most important data from throughout the protocol.
If you have access to Bruhn 1990 a (see References), turn to pp. 140-41; what I will
provide will be a summary of issues and a synthesis of issues, as given in the sample
protocol. The written report will be fairly short, but it will hone in on what you most need
to know.

Interpretation of Supplementary Procedures: After I have completed at least a
summary interpretation of your Early Memories Procedure, I can help you with your
supplementary procedures (click - ONLINE BOOKSTORE - to order). The supplementary
procedures include: Memories of Mother, Memories of Father, Memories of Spouse, and
Romantic Relationships Procedure.

Individual Psychotherapy: Sessions ordinarily take place in my Bethesda office,
although special appointments and phone times can sometimes be arranged. I will make
an Early Memories Procedure (EMP) available after the initial visit. The EMP is then
interpreted during the second session so we can clarify, from the beginning, the kind of
work that needs to be done. Supplementary procedures (MOM, MOF, MOS, RRP) are
completed as needed.

| Fees: |
45 minute session: $110 (some sliding scale available) |
|
90 minute session: $220 (mostly used for interpretives or for intensive work) |
- Hours: Normally, 3-9 p.m., but special arrangements can be made.
- Couples Work: The same fee arrangements apply as for individual psychotherapy, but
normally I work in 90 minute sessions. I ask that each partner undertake an Early
Memories Procedure before they complete a Memories of Spouse; this information will
clarify what each partner is bringing to the relationship (EMP) and what history has been
created with the partner as a result (MOS). Interpretative work on both procedures is done
in session for both partners and recorded so that participants can take the tapes home and
review them.
- Family Therapy and Child and Adolescent Work: We have a well-stocked playroom
on site and a one-way mirror. I originally trained at Duke to do child and adolescent work
and, of course, family therapy. I can do play therapy with younger children, if needed, but
at this point I prefer in most cases to train parents, as soon as is feasible, to do the kind of
work themselves that I do with their children.
- Questions Regarding CP or EMP Related Research from Thesis or Dissertation
Students or Professors: I gladly provide consultation at no charge as a courtesy. I can
also occasionally serve as an outside committee member. You can reach me by e-mail
(arbruhn@arbruhn.com) or leave a message on my voice mail (301-654-2017).
- Organizationally Sponsored Workshops: I regularly offer workshops to universities,
mental health clinics, and other mental health groups. Some years The Society for
Personality Assessment sponsors them (low cost and convenient for assessment people).
Unless these are within driving distance from the Washington, DC area, we need to think
about at least a two month lead time. Standard topics include: How To Interpret
Autobiographical Memories (or the EMP), Brief Focused Insight Oriented Memory
Therapy, and Using the Comprehensive Memory Scoring System. Custom workshops to
fit your needs can be arranged. I encourage organizers to provide a volunteer for clinical
demonstration purposes. To arrange, contact me through the sign up sheet in Schedule of
Upcoming Workshops and Seminars.
- Local Workshops: We will be offering local workshops on the preceding topics. For
more information, and to sign up, go to Schedule of Upcoming Workshops and
Seminars.
