Description:
Early in therapy it is important to develop a shared understanding of client problems. Padesky demonstrates collaborative use of a 5-part model which helps clients understand how their various problems are linked. She then shows how a few simple questions can prompt clients to use this model to begin to plan steps for effective change. In the discussion that follows, she illustrates how these processes can build on client strengths as well as principles of evidence based practice.
