Video Description:
We know a great deal about the outcomes of therapy. 100 years of research shows therapy is more effective than medication. People get better. Yet, we know very little about therapists themselves. In this landmark study, Bruce Wampold and Simon Goldberg shed light on the therapist. Following 170 therapists for 18 years they investigated if therapists improve with experience. Their results are shocking.
While therapy is effective, they discovered most therapists get worse with time an experience. The deficit is small but exist. This study also explores possible reasons why. In a follow-up study, Wampold and his team found practical solutions to this problem. With some thoughtful preparation and well designed supervision, therapists can become dramatically more effective.
In this video, Yonasan Bender, SW, presents Goldberg and Wampold’s findings. He offers a clear and practical roadmap to understand this issue. He also describes powerful solutions to avoid this therapist trap.
