By watching this video, you will:
- Learn what three questions to ask all of your patients in order to: tailor the psychotherapy to each individual; maximize the effectiveness of treatment; and reduce the rate of premature terminations.
- Understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship and how to skillfully address and repair alliance ruptures.
- Identify evidence-based steps you can take to improve your therapeutic effectiveness.
If you're skeptical of the idea that psychotherapy is akin to a medical procedure, and uncomfortable with the trend towards empirically validated treatments which don't acknowledge the therapeutic relationship, then this video will show you that your doubts are more than reasonable, and, in fact, backed up by decades of research. Norcross persuasively makes the case that the human element inherent in psychotherapy should take center stage, because it is scientifically proven to play a significant role in successful treatment outcomes.
