Workshop content:
For today’s practitioner, finding reliable information about “what works” in therapy—separating fact from fiction—can be challenging. Since the 1960’s, the number of treatment approaches has exploded, going from 60 to over 400 at last count.
So, “what works?” Drawing from a comprehensive review of 40 years of outcome research, Scott D. Miller, Ph.D. will identify core factors responsible for therapeutic success regardless of theoretical orientation or psychiatric diagnosis.   The research on “what works” will be carefully translated into practical, common sense, and empirically-supported therapeutic skills that can be used for the efficient and effective resolution of problems clients bring to treatment.
