Great discussion ! Such a treat ! txs Alexander Vaz for this discussion and the others. Txs to you, Bruce Wampold for sharing your knowledge and experience this way. I loved it and learned a lot. And it reassured me also very much in my own journey as a therapist...
The study of psychotherapy outcomes might be scientific, but the therapeutic method itself is an art that is informed by science, not the other way round. Like any art form, doing it well requires innate talent combined with deliberate practice as well as yes-- a long 'apprenticeship' (more closely approximated by one's own therapy than by internship). Also, routine outcome measures in the real world are overly symptom- and self-report focused. Lastly, one area requiring far more study involves complex matching arrangements (type of patient & problem & therapist & orientation/modality). ....I think Bruce is overly optimistic about the next 10 years, with all due respect.
Most therapists are bad. Some therapists are amazing. I don't know if you can teach it. Some people are born healers. It is in their DNA. Peace and love, everyone.
Thank you - I agree with the concept of Therapists being in constant ongoing training and Cpd - I know in my own practice this has been invaluable.
How am I just now finding this channel? Awesome. I hope you keep producing these!

It's still for the fairly well off. Insurance doesn't pay practitioners much and deductibles have exploded.

We get better at anything by deliberate practice.
