Albert Bandura: From Laboratory to World Stage
Clinicians would largely agree that behavioral and cognitive-behavioral interventions have proven over the years to be effective modalities of treatment for a wide range of symptomatology. However, enduring change and generalization beyond the therapy room can be limited if we do not also enhance a client’s sense of efficacy--the belief in their own causative power. Bandura’s powerful insights and richly-detailed clinical examples will help you to move beyond a narrow focus on behavior and causality, so that your case conceptualizations and treatment plans can incorporate and address all aspects of your client’s experience.
According to Bandura, the road to success is littered with failure, and high self-esteem without realistic tools for accomplishing goals can lead to symptom exacerbation and treatment failure. Effective and long-lasting treatment outcome is about building a roadmap, one success at a time. In this video you will learn exactly how to do this with your clients by using positive modeling and guided mastery, and by capitalizing on fortuity--those seemingly random events that are actually windows of opportunity for meaningful change.
We learn by watching! That is Bandura’s legacy. But effective modeling, he reminds us, requires attention, memory, and translating symbol (media messages for positive and negative behavior) into action and motivation. You will learn how to help your clients build on these necessary skills while identifying and overcoming the ways that they undermine their own self-efficacy by putting things off (temporizing), distracting themselves (detouring) and making excuses. You will become your client’s guide, helping them to move to higher levels of personal efficacy and well-being.
