Description
Description: What is the goal of therapy, and who gets to decide? In this substantive panel, leaders from cognitive behavioral, Gestalt, Jungian, and Ericksonian traditions explore freedom, agency, individuation, resilience, and collaborative goal setting. Moving from symptom relief to becoming “who you were meant to be,” the discussion highlights therapeutic alliance, curiosity, feedback, and well-formed goals as central to meaningful change.
Syllabus Description: The process of contracting for change in the initial session will be described and discussed. Methods of targeting goals will be compared and contrasted.
Learning Objectives
- Given the patient, describe three different ways of establishing goals.
- Describe how goals can be empirically informed.
