Talking Therapy Episode 43: Change Principles, Not Common Factors

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.

Thank you! I am thinking more and more in the same direction, underlying principles seem to be more useful to grasp to be helpful therapist, than one specific school of thought, that may end up with manifestations of pros and contras of a religious dogma.
