Excerpt
The goal of this book and all psychotherapy training programs is to produce good therapists. But how do we know when we have succeeded or, perhaps more important, failed? There is increasing agreement that we need to first define our desired end point, a “good therapist.” Simply stated, good therapists heal their patients. They deliver consistently and measurably good clinical outcomes for the patients they treat. This is a major conceptual shift beyond our current practice of evaluating only therapists’ adherence to a model when assessing the effectiveness of those therapists by measuring their patients’ outcomes. This is the missing ingredient in most training programs.
