Working harder—seeing more clients, going to more workshops, watching more videos—doesn’t seem to actually help therapists enhance their skills. But there’s an emerging science of expertise and human performance that shows that working smarter does make a difference. This series will offer practical guidance on how to work more systematically to improve your case outcomes and move to the next level of clinical accomplishment.
Session 1: Achieving Clinical Excellence
Scott Miller
Learn why experience, theoretical orientation, and interpersonal skills are actually not highly correlated with outcome; how to radically improve performance through routine client feedback, accurate self-assessment, and deliberate practice; and how to reinforce your own clinical growth by creating “cultures of excellence.”
Session 2: Communities of Practice
Etienne Wenger
Discover how key learning processes and relationships in a community of practice differ from standard, formal training, and why individual therapists need communities to help problem-solve, gain perspective, and keep up with change.
Session 3: How We Get Better
Barry Duncan
Explore the results of more than 1,000 studies about the science of the therapeutic alliance, how to radically improve your effectiveness by consistently measuring outcomes, and how to consistently attain “healing involvement,” with clients.
Session 4: From Evidence-Based Practice to Practice-Based Evidence
Michael Lambert
Hear how to incorporate measures of change in symptoms, interpersonal problems, social-role functioning, and quality of life in your work; how to determine a client’s progress between sessions; and when to use clinical support tools if a client’s mental health appears to be heading downhill.
Session 5: Building a Culture of Excellence
Robbie Babins-Wagner
Learn helpful strategies for soliciting, hearing, and effectively using negative feedback from clients, understand how to use outcome measures to develop mastery within specific clinical domains, and discover how to create a work environment that supports and encourages Feedback Informed Treatment.
Session 6: Bringing Science into Clinical Practice
William Pinsof
Explore the leading edge in client feedback: the Systemic Therapy Inventory for Change (STIC) being developed by the Family Institute at Northwestern University, a sophisticated questionnaire that’s quickly answered, scored, and displayed on a computer—with results e-mailed to the therapist.
