I loved this! I feel the last part is an important reminder for all those psychotherapist out there feeling like imposters, looking for a million trainings but may need some slowing down and exploration of if what they are doing work?
Thanks Daryl! The continuous calibration model/contextual model, as said by Eliabet below, is just plain good sense. Therapists must adapt our work according to the feedback form each unique client. Unfortunately we know that good sense and common sense are not that common in our field.
I was definitely taught according to the "pill model" or medical model in other words, and as a clinician come to appreciate the continuous, calibration model or the contextual model. I still believe though that you need a researched method, that stands on a solid theoretical ground, with a library of well defined interventions to work with, for being able to deceptively improvise in the specific moment with the patient. It is not that anything goes!
