Everything Is Psychological

Episode 12 is focused on a question from listener. There was a request to follow up the spirituality in therapy discussion with, "what would I do with a client from something other than Christian?" My answer is that i approach therapy for each client in the same manner from a client centered approach. The focus of therapy is what the client wants to talk about. If they want to discuss religion that becomes the focus because they are steering the conversation that way. If they are going deep into the background of a faith I am not familiar with then I might refer to a therapist more knowledgeable. It is important for the therapist to know their limits.  I also discussed the works of Scott Mlller, and that success in therapy is hinged on the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client. Finally, I talked about the Science Reproducibility Project, and the finding that it is very difficult to replicate research projects. Research needs to improve its process.  Links: http://www.scottdmiller.com ht
