How NOT to Achieve Clinical Excellence: The Sorry State of Continuing Professional Education

Greg Neimeyer, Ph.D., is causing quite a stir in continuing education circles.  What has he done?  In several scholarly publications, he's reviewed the existing empirical literature and found that continuing professional education in heavioral health is not particularly, well, ...educational.  Indeed, in a soon-to-be published piece in the APA journal, Professional Psychology, he notes, ...

Top Resources for Top Performers

Since the 1960's, over 10,000 "how-to" book on psychotherapy have been published.  I joke about this fact at my workshops, stating "Any field that needs ten thousand books to describe what it's doing...surely doesn't know what its doing!" I continue, pointing out that, "There aren't 10,000 plus books on 'human anatomy,' for ...

On the Path of the Supershrinks: An Article by Bill Robinson

Not too long ago, my colleagues and I published some preliminary thoughts and findings from our research into "Supershrinks." That differences in effectiveness exist between clinicians is neither surprising or new.  Indeed, "therapist effects"--as they are referred to in the research literature--have been documented for decades and rival the contribution ...

History doesn’t repeat itself,

Image via Wikipedia "History doesn't repeat itself," the celebrated American author, Mark Twain once observed, "but it does rhyme." No better example of Twain's wry comment than recurring claims about specifc therapeutic approaches. As any clinician knows, every year witnesses the introduction of new treatment models.  Invariably, the developers ...

Practice-Based Evidence Goes Mainstream

For years, my colleagues and I have been using the phrase "practice-based evidence" to refer to clinicians' use of real-time feedback to develop, guide, and evaluate behavioral health services. Against a tidal wave of support from professional and regulatory bodies, we argued that the "evidence-based practice"--the notion that certain treatments ...

The Evolution of Psychotherapy: Twenty-Five Years On

In 1985, I was starting my second year as a doctoral student at the University of Utah.  Like thousands of other graduate students, I'd watched the "Gloria" films.  Carl Roger, Albert Ellis, Fritz Perls were all impressive if not confusing given their radically different styles.  I also knew that I would soon have the opportunity ...

The Debate of the Century

What causes change in psychotherapy?  Specific treatments applied to specific disorders?  Those in the "evidence-based" say so and have had a huge influence on behavioral healthcare policy and reimbursement.  Over the last 10 years, my colleagues and I have written extensively and traveled the world offering a different perspective: by and large, the ...
