The Quest for Evidence-based Training
“Evidence-Based” Training? Research is important in the scientific field of psychotherapy, where we like to think of ourselves as “scientist-practitioners” who provide “evidence-based practice” (Overholser, 2012). However, when it concerns our professional training, this research emphasis appears to be conveniently forgotten. Therapists tend to spend many hours of their career in professional training, not only […]

2022 President’s Column 57(1)
Many therapists tell me that they never learned how to do dream work and don’t feel comfortable addressing them in therapy. How sad because they are then missing out on potentially valuable aspects of clients’ lives. After all, if the average person spends two hours in REM sleep per night, that adds up to 51,000 […]
