Talking Therapy Episode 49: Therapy As Inspiration

Hosts:

Producer:

Alan Kian, MA, York University
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marvin Goldfried is a distinguished professor of psychology at Stony Brook University, where he helped to develop the graduate program in clinical psychology—he is the cofounder of the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration. Allen Frances is a professor of psychiatry and chair emeritus at Duke, and was chair of the DSM-IV task force.

Marvin describes the evolution of his psychotherapy orientation as psychodynamic, behavioral, CBT, and eventually integrative. He practices, teaches, and supervises what works clinically using direct and indirect evidence base.

Allen describes his approach to psychotherapy as “whatever works” or “no one size fits all”. He was trained and taught at the Columbia University Psychoanalytic Center, but remains equally interested in brief, supportive, cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and family therapies.

Drs. Goldfried and Frances, thank you so much for your outstanding contributions to the field and your current videos. It is an honor to have access to the great thinkers and healers of our time.

Should you find it useful, it would be great to view an exclusive dialog on Following the Patient. I'm curious about a shared definition and how this is operationalized in the therapy environment (within integrated approaches and supportive psychotherapy).

Also, it would be a privilege to hear a discussion on how you incorporate Multicultural aspects into your Assessments and Case Formulations.

Thanks for considering these topics and your exceptional expertise.

Nothing was grosser or more infuriating than my old therapist’s hollow assurances that everything would be fine at the end of each session. She never had evidence for anything she said or did. I hope the next hurricane takes her out to sea and leaves her for the sharks.
