Professional Certificate Integrative Practice

Live Online | 5 Days

From the early days of the profession, there has existed a rivalry among theoretical orientations as to claims of efficacy and superiority, however, as the field has become more mature, Psychotherapy Integration has become a therapeutic mainstay.

 

Integrative TherapyThe primary purpose of integration is to “enhance the efficacy, efficiency, and applicability of psychotherapy” (Norcross & Goldfried, 2019) and offers therapists a way to answer a key professional question ‘how do I know what I am doing is effective’ as well as providing strategies to overcome the limitations of single-school approaches.

 

Further, many therapists struggle to keep up to date with the latest research findings in the profession with limited routes to updating original training and knowledge of what works for whom. This course aims to provide participants with a solid grounding in psychotherapy integration, effective routes to integration and how to use recent research findings to inform their existing practice and improve outcomes for their clients. 

 

Who is this course for?

Therapists wishing to explore how their current (or future) practice may be best informed by integrative approaches and the very latest research on how to improve therapy outcomes for clients and themselves. These insights have been demonstrated to reduce drop-outs and early, unexpected therapy terminations.

 

What will you learn?

On completion of this Certificate, participants will have relevant knowledge and skills about:

  • An introduction to Psychotherapy Integration & the four routes
  • What works in therapy and for whom
  • Practical ways to improve therapy outcomes for clients
  • Removing the obstacles to effective Integration
  • Strategies for maximising the therapy relationship
  • Evidence-Based Responsiveness (preferences, feedback and stages of change)
  • Research & Future directions in Psychotherapy Integration

 

What are the benefits of doing this course? 

Participants who complete this course will have the knowledge and skills to set up, maintain and evaluate the conditions necessary for effective, contemporary integrative practice. These skills and techniques have been demonstrated to be highly effective and are based on the latest evidence to inform practice.
