| Popis: |
“I just don’t understand why we are spending so much time studying theory,” remarked the clinical graduate student frankly. “Who cares what a bunch of dead white guys think! I just want to know how to do therapy the right way.” Her remarks likely express the thoughts of many other students who have felt exasperated by Freud’s adherence to the psychosexual stages or by the dense yet ambiguous writings of object relations theorists. Why can’t students just learn the “skills” of effective therapy without exploration of theoretical history and metacognitive exercises into the why’s and how’s of therapeutic efficacy and effectiveness? Is theory really that important? This chapter explores the notion of theory and its importance for clinical practice, provides a brief overview of the evolution of clinical theory, and provides a framework for how theory directly informs day-to-day clinical practice. |
