SEMINAR AT BOISE STATE OFFERS HELP FOR THERAPISTS
Boise State University’s School of Social Work will host an intensive one-day workshop focusing on practical approaches to therapy on Friday, June 10, in the Student Union Hatch Ballroom. “What Works in Therapy” features Scott D. Miller, co-founder of the Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change. Registration is $129 before May 15, or $149 at the door. Register at www.twerx.com.
Over the past 40 years, the number of therapy models has grown from 60 to more than 250. Research data, however, shows that these different treatment approaches achieve roughly the same results. This seminar focuses on which similar approaches account for success.
The workshop
will cover the following topics:
-
How to use the common factors in psychotherapy that enhance outcome
-
How to use the client’s theory of change to guide your choices in therapy
-
How to obtain valid and reliable feedback on the client’s session-by-session experience
Miller is a therapist providing pro bono clinical services for traditionally underserved clients and is the author of several books, including “The Heart and Soul of Change.” He has conducted numerous workshops in the United States and abroad and is known for his witty presentation style.
The seminar is co-sponsored by the School of Social Work at Boise State and David Giffen, a licensed psychologist who lives and practices in Spokane, Wash.
