What actually drives change in psychotherapy? This presentation describes a clinical moment in which a chronically suicidal patient experienced a sudden and lasting shift, prompting a reconsideration of how therapy works. We’ll look at the role of the therapeutic alliance and patient expectations, while also recognizing the importance of structured intervention, and consider whether the field has overprioritized methods at the expense of connection.
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate between specific factors and common factors as mechanisms of psychotherapeutic change
- Describe the distinction between treatment efficacy and mechanisms of change, including key limitations of randomized controlled trials
- Consider an integrative framework (e.g., evidence-based practice in psychology, contextual model) in supervision and training
CE credits available for psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.
