As we’ve interviewed expert clinicians on the podcast, clear trends have emerged. These clinicians have two things in common:
They have a pretty set arc to their treatment sessions.
They tend to work from “menus” of intervention options.
I’m pretty sure they do this- because this is what they’ve discovered works. But, I’ve never really seen this approach studied or discussed in research…until now.
I was honestly flabbergasted to hear one of the most prominent rehab researchers in the world, talking about these two things, in his paper Many Paths to Recovery: The Case for Treatment Pluralism. From what I understand, Dr. Cook gives these concepts some formal names: he calls those intervention menus ‘treatment pluralism‘—and he calls the components of the arc of a session ‘therapeutic ritual‘… driven by what researchers call contextual factors
In today’s episode, I can’t wait to dig deeper into this paper—and how our guest Dr. Chad Cook currently understands the factors that make therapy effective.
This is an episode that could fundamentally change how you think about each patient encounter.
