AI Article Synopsis
- Most psychotherapists take a process-oriented and integrative approach, but psychotherapy training often lacks a unified method that addresses different therapy styles and diagnoses.
- There's a need for psychotherapy training programs that not only focus on what to teach (common principles of change) but also improve the way they teach (moving beyond just role-playing and supervised practice).
- The authors propose a new online training model called Alliance-Focused Training, which aims to use technology and deliberate practice to enhance psychotherapy education in the modern era.
Article Abstract
Background: Despite the finding that the majority of psychotherapists adopt a rather process-oriented and integrative stance, it is uncommon that psychotherapy trainings are transtheoretical and transdiagnostic. Considering principles of change that cut across different schools of therapy holds promise for developing truly research-informed psychotherapy trainings. Common principles of change may answer the question what should be trained. Another important question is how to train. In current psychotherapy training programs, transfer of theory into practice relies mainly on role-playing exercises and supervised practice, both of which have their limitations.
Aims: A fantasy for the future would be the development, implementation, and evaluation of a complementary 21st century online principle-based and marker-led psychotherapy training: incorporating the concepts of deliberate practice as well as expert training, the huge potential of technologies, and considering the importance of (context) responsiveness.
Conclusion: To illustrate this idea, we present a training that we are currently developing, an online Alliance-Focused Training.
