ForwardImproving Client Outcomes and Long-Lasting Behavioral Changes
Research indicates that 25% of psychotherapists are 50% more effective and have 50% fewer dropouts from therapy than their fellow therapists. This presentation will critically review the "state of the art " of psychotherapy and discuss and demonstrate what these more effective therapists do and do not do to achieve these more favorable treatment outcomes. Dr. Meichenbaum will describe how to implement the Core tasks of psychotherapy. These interventions include an integrative Constructive Narrative strengths-based treatment approach to address patients with co-occurring disorders and an effective evidenced-based clinical skills set. Participants will receive a detailed TO DO list of psychotherapeutic activities that they can implement immediately.
