EP21 Great Conversations 07 - What Really Matters in Therapy May Not Be What You Think - Scott Miller, PhD
Original Program Date :
Length: 1 hour
Although therapists certainly need a clear clinical road map informing their work with clients, a rigid reliance on and allegiance to any particular theoretical model ignores what research tells us about what really matters most in therapy. More, being overly focused on implementing clinical protocols prevents us from being truly present with our clients -- the place where real therapeutic magic resides.
Join two therapists as they trace the evolution of their thinking from being team members who helped develop the Solution Focused Brief Therapy model through today. Discover what they’ve learned about the real catalyst for change in therapy.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the benefits of knowing your current theoretical approach and skills are a work in progress.
- List three ways to foster therapeutic relationships that do not rely on adherence to any theoretical orientation.
- Describe three ways therapists can bring their cultural and personal understanding of the change process to the therapeutic encounter
