I agree with e...Extremely well written (as always). I agree with everything you've written Garth, and I will admit my bias as this is how I practice. I am an "eclectic" therapist who attempts to adapt to each client I work for. I've consulted with a few psychiatrists on client care and they often recommend a manualized treatment that has been shown in studies to be effective for the client's problem. When I bring this up with the client as an option in our work together, they rarely want to follow the manualized program. What we usually do is discuss things that are important to them, and organically discover coping strategies they've already been using and ones they feel would fit for them. <br /><br />One other thought: In a world where all information is at our fingertips, I feel it's less and less relevant for therapists to provide information and more important to connect on a human level and help clients trust and care for themselves. <br /><br />Thanks for your great contribution to the world wide web!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559987438162104449noreply@blogger.com
