Transforming Problems in Psychotherapy with Dr. William (Bill) Stiles
Manage episode 464943149 series 3555942
In this conversation, Dr. William Stiles discusses the significance of reflection in therapeutic practice and the challenges of measuring therapeutic techniques through process research. Dr. Stiles introduces the concept of responsiveness in therapy, highlighting the importance of understanding what the client needs at any given moment. He elaborates on the assimilation model, which focuses on transforming problematic experiences into resources, and the role of meaning bridges in facilitating this process. The conversation also touches on the integral role of emotion in therapy and the idea that while therapies may reduce distress, they do not necessarily lead to uniform outcomes among clients.
