THE SIX FACTORS: Traditional Treatment Disruptors
Therapist Rotation: Rotation of the therapist is an important component. Changing clinicians can be effective in reducing overdependence and increasing therapeutic gains.
|
Case Conceptualization: Theory and diagnostic patterns are carefully examined to identify appropriate treatment.
|
Degree Flexibility: The Protocol is responsive to the level of treatment and service that would be beneficial.
|
Progressive Collaboration: The success of the intervention is reviewed through inclusive meetings with all stakeholders (e.g., parents, providers, and the client)
|
Change-Oriented Model: The purpose of therapy is to improve behaviors and emotions in the person’s life. This is measured via “outside of the office” change.
|
Non-Pathologizing: What most consider to be disorders or disabilities are part of normal human psychological functioning.
