EP17 Speech with Discussant 01 - When Helping Doesn't Help - David Burns, MD and Jeffrey Zeig, PhD
Program Schedule
12/16/2017 12:00 AM - 01:20 AM (PST)
Length: 1:19:51
Description: Despite the proliferation of new therapies, many patients remain stuck. In this engaging address, Burns argues that resistance, rather than technique, often determines outcome. Blending research on empathy, homework compliance, and motivation with dramatic clinical demonstrations, he illustrates outcome and process resistance and the use of paradoxical agenda setting to unlock rapid change. Zeig offers an Ericksonian response, expanding the discussion to communication, utilization, and the relational nature of resistance.
Syllabus Description: Although there's been an overwhelming proliferation of new therapies for depression and anxiety, the controlled outcome studies have yielded disappointing results. Dr. Burns argues that this is because resistance has not been addressed, and describes a new approach called TEAM-CBT that solves this problem and promises superior outcomes.
Educational Objectives:
- Explain why therapy so often fails despite the therapist's sincerest efforts to help.
- Describe the research and clinical experience that led to the development of TEAM-CBT.
