This workshop provides integrative methods for personalizing or adapting psychological treatments to individual clients and their singular contexts. Learn to reliably assess and rapidly apply several evidence-based methods to fit the entire patient: stages of change, reactance level, coping style, and strong preferences. Such transdiagnostic matching demonstrably accelerates the process, reduces dropouts, and improves therapy outcomes. Skill level: Intermediate 

Workshop Objectives

Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to...

• Identify at least 3 research-supported methods to personalize treatment to the individual client.
• Apply psychotherapy to a patient’s reactance level and coping style.
• Assess reliably a client’s stage of change within one minute and tailor treatment to that stage.
• Utilize the C-NIP to assess patient strong preferences.
• Discuss the effectiveness of cultural adaptations to patient race and sexual orientations.
• Summarize the limitations of transdiagnostic matching.
