Topic Description:
The field of psychotherapy has been in existence for well over a century, and numerous advances have been made over the years. At the same time, the practicing clinician is faced with a disjointed array of interventions, some of which have been developed from different schools of thought and others from variations within a given theoretical orientation. Moreover, there are developments in the field that often replace rather than build on past contributions. Finally, the field of psychotherapy continues to reflect a long-standing gap between research and practice. Dr. Goldfried will address the need to integrate (a) different approaches to therapy, (b) new information with past contributions, and (c) clinical practice and research.
You will learn:
1. Principles of change that reflect cross-orientation themes.
2. The importance of developing a core of knowledge regarding psychotherapy.
3. Current attempts to develop a two-way bridge between research and practice.
