A question for @sbkaufman and everyone
What would you learn in undergrad psych that would help you be a better clinician, (that would not have been covered in psych grad school?)
Be specific.
sie sperren junge lebensfrohe menschen in abgedunkelte büros um paper zu themen die niemanden interessieren zu schreiben statt sie in cafés in der sonne sitzen zu lassen und dem treiben auf den sommerlichen straßen zuzuschauen
Entgegen anderslautender Gerüchte ist der Körper kein Tempel, sondern ein Verschleißteil, dass man idealerweise so vernutzt, dass man dadurch Freude am Leben hat und irgendwann ist er dann auch durch und dann stirbt man eben
1/ I’ve been struggling to explain this paper so people really grasp its importance
It addresses the question: Do people who get so-called evidence-based therapy for depression get well? The answer is, NO THEY DON’T
The paper is a meta-analysis (compilation) of the best available research trials. They are all brief therapies (average 10 sessions) and almost all (75%) CBT
👉Only 2 out of 10 people who get these treatments recovered from depression
👉Of the remaining 8 people, 7 remained depressed after treatment, and 1 would have recovered without treatment (control group remission rate)
Two possible conclusions:
1️⃣Therapy is not effective for most depressed people most of the time
2️⃣ Psychotherapy can be effective—but brief CBT is not. Real change in therapy takes much longer
I say it’s option 2️⃣because...
...Clinical experience over generations tells us people get well—but it takes much longer
...Research on real-world therapy tells us people get well—but it takes much longer
…Research tells us that meaningful change in therapy *begins* at about 6 months
...The notion that therapy happens in 8 or 12 sessions is a researcher’s (and managed care administrator’s) fantasy
Here’s what I am certain of:
👉The overwhelming majority of people who get brief CBT for depression DO NOT GET WELL
👉If empirical research proves anything, it proves it is ineffective for most
👉It’s WRONG to call it “evidence based” or describe it as “proven” and “effective” when it fails most people most of the time
👉It’s WILDLY MISLEADING to use these terms
👉Regardless of the good intentions of those who use this language, a lie is a lie

1/ Younger therapists are often highly sensitized to issues of power dynamics. This is constructive when it helps therapists hold in mind the fundamental truth that therapy is a partnership and collaboration—something done *with* patients and never *to* them
