Since 2014, Dr. Lapčević has been primarily focused on his private psychotherapy practice, “Savetovalište Lapčević” (Lapčević Counseling Center), in Belgrade, Serbia.
After a number of failed attempts at therapy I finally found a therapist who aligns with my needs and lifestyle. I travel a lot for work and talking to Bojan from anywhere in the world via Skype has finally made it possible for me to not miss my sessions and see lasting therapy results. Bojan is compassionate yet critical, he does not just listen and validate, but rather helps me to dissect and understand my behavioral patterns and how they are often rooted in unattended trauma and family history. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a highly attentive and flexible professional to work through their issues with.
Publication: Individual Differences as Factors of Marital Crisis and its Overcoming
– a book published on the basis of PhD thesis –
Abstract
In this research, empirical analysis of data from 200 couples in marital crisis, included in couple therapy treatment, reveals factors, both of onset and overcoming of marital crisis. It is argued that marital crisis is a phenomenon primarily linked to personality structure of actor and partner. Furthermore, on the basis of key dimensions of personality of actor and partner, it is possible to detect personality characteristics both for men and woman with good and poor treatment prognosis. Third, by detecting effectiveness and efficacy of psychotherapeutic techniques, two models of therapeutic approaches with highest efficacy are created. In the integration of results, it is suggested that two big factors of marital crisis and its overcoming exist and they are named Communication and Psychopathology.
