Overview
Research shows that approximately 25% of therapists achieve 50% better treatment outcomes - and experience 50% fewer dropouts - compared to their colleagues. These findings, replicated in multiple studies, suggest that some clinicians consistently excel at fostering positive client outcomes. How do they do it?
In this clinical workshop, Dr. Donald H. Meichenbaum will discuss and demonstrate the core tasks of therapy that these “expert” therapists deliberately practice, including:
- Establishing and monitoring a strong therapeutic alliance
- The skillful use of sophisticated case conceptualization models to guide treatment decisions
- A strengths-based treatment approach
- The ability to spot ‘hype’ and stay grounded in evidence-based practice
The workshop will explore how these core tasks bolster client resilience, highlighting a trans-theoretical constructive narrative approach that can be integrated into any theoretical orientation. Clinicians from diverse backgrounds will benefit from learning these strategies to enhance client outcomes and reduce dropout rates in their own practices.
