Het geheim van de betere therapeut : cliëntgestuurd, resultaatbewust

by Barry L. Duncan

De Amerikaanse auteur, ervaren psychotherapeut en docent, beschrijft aan de hand van voorbeelden uit zijn praktijk en analyses hoe psychotherapeuten hun beroep beter kunnen uitvoeren. Hij biedt formulieren en modellen om feedback van cliënten te verwerken tot (zelf)reflectie. Door psychotherapie te meten aan de hand van resultaten kan de psychotherapeut zijn aanpak aanpassen en verbeteren. Resultaatgericht werken is een onderbelicht onderwerp tijdens de beroepsopleiding tot psychotherapeut. Dit boek is daarom een aanvulling met gerichte gesprekstechnieken om te leren van cliënten. Het is vooral bestemd voor psychologen en psychotherapeuten en/of studerenden hiervoor. Met een uitgebreid literatuuroverzicht (hoofdzakelijk Engelstalig) en een register.

A must read for every therapist, no matter your discipline!

[Cheryl Van Dyke · Rating 1 out of 5]

Would probably only be beneficial for the therapist who is very data driven.

A a practitioner I have conflicting views about Duncan's approach. Which he has a lot of wisdom to share in this book for practitioners both young and old, I don't agree with his complete reliance on rating scales. Especially when he describes times when he outright ignores the client's wishes.

Per la precisione è un "come implementare il Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS) per monitorare meglio la propria performance nell'intervento".

This book is mostly about formally gathering feedback from therapy clients. Formal or otherwise, it is clear that client feedback is essential. There are good reasons to believe that if it isn't formal it doesn't happen - therapists get lazy and do not solicit feedback if it isn't built into the process. That said, having clients fill out forms at the beginning and ending of every session doesn't feel right to me, outside of big agency settings.

Every therapist needs to read this book, regardless of their training background. Duncan shares a very clear process for working with all clients and monitoring client progress. The Outcome Rating Scale and Session Rating Scale are simple measures, and when used in therapy are incredibly powerful. I have been using this process for about 6 weeks now and I will not turn back.
