About this title

Synopsis

Deliberate practice is a systematic approach for improving psychotherapy outcomes, one clinician at a time. This book offers guidance from leading experts in designing deliberate practice exercises specific to the individual practitioner. 

Written to be used in conjunction with Better Results: Using Deliberate Practice to Improve Therapeutic Effectiveness, this field guide demonstrates how to collect and use client outcome data to create an individualized professional development plan to improve the quality of service. Along with providing guidance in understanding and mapping individual data onto the taxonomy for deliberate practice (TDPA), the expert chapter authors detail a number of factors that influence therapy outcomes, including client factors, therapist factors, client-therapist relationships, and more.

Field Guide to Better Results aims to assist therapists in further understanding and applying the concepts needed to gain more effective outcomes.
