Description
Description:
Anyone can perform brief or short-term therapy, but unless pivotal issues are addressed, the treatment will, at best, be too narrow and restricted. It is essential to employ empirically established methods whenever possible, but also to have a framework and rationale for on-the-spot inventiveness. This Invited Address will explain how to be precise and targeted while also ensuring that interactive healing processes are put into effect.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe specific treatments of choice.
- To provide a framework for thorough assessment.
- To tie the selection of techniques to an empirical foundation.
