Psychotherapy will maximize its effectiveness by targeting the most powerful sources of change: the therapeutic relationship and the patient him/ herself. This clinical workshop will provide integrative methods for customizing therapy relationships to individual patients. Participants will learn to reliably assess and rapidly apply 4+ evidence-based guidelines for constructing the “relationship of choice.”
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
♦ determine a client’s treatment and relationship preferences in ways that improve outcomes
♦ secure real-time client feedback in session regarding therapy progress and relationship satisfaction
♦ assess reliably a client’s stage of change within one minute and tailor treatment to that stage
♦ avoid use of 4 discredited relational behaviors that contribute to treatment failure
♦ apply 3 evidence-based methods to determine the relationship of choice for a patient
