In this 2-hour continuing education web conference, Dr. Barry Duncan will address the following three strategies to improve the therapeutic alliance:
Dr. Duncan will also discuss the Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS). PCOMS provides an early warning system that identifies people who are not responding to therapy, allowing clinicians to keep clients engaged while collaboratively seeking new directions. Because of the research conducted by Dr. Duncan and colleagues, PCOMS is included in the U.S. National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices. PCOMS has been implemented across the U.S., Canada, and 20 other countries.
