Title and description from publisher metadata.

"In this training video, Dr. John Norcross presents the results from fourteen meta-analyses that reveal the secrets to successful therapy. Challenging the predominant view that manualized treatment methods are the gold standard for effective psychotherapy, Norcross shares empirical research that leads him to argue for a "middle path" that says it is both the treatment method and the therapeutic relationship that make the difference. You will learn what three questions to ask all of your patients in order to tailor the psychotherapy to each individual, maximize the effectiveness of treatment, and reduce the rate of premature terminations; understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship and how to skillfully address and repair alliance ruptures; and identify evidence-based steps you can take to improve your therapeutic effectiveness. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
