Better Results

[Better Results] clearly shows that a given clinician’s performance is not the result of some inherent, immutable limit on their ability to succeed but is a function of the methods they use to train and develop. Most important of all, it provides therapists with the means for delivering more effective care. -- From the Foreword; K. Anders Ericsson, PhD, Conradi Eminent Scholar and Professor of Psychology, Florida State University, Tallahassee
Improving treatment effectiveness: That’s the goal to which all clinicians aspire and to which Miller, Hubble, and Chow devote this extraordinarily stimulating and eminently practical book. Learn how to leverage deliberate practice, in small actionable steps, to obtain better and better results. A transformative read! -- John C. Norcross, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Scranton, Scranton, PA, and coeditor of the five-volume APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology
Many therapists are unsure about the effectiveness of their work. In this fascinating and insightful book, Miller, Hubble, and Chow propose an empirically based program for how therapists can improve. It is blunt and hard-hitting, but it may help therapists achieve what they really hoped for when they entered the profession. -- Amy Chua, Professor, Yale Law School, New Haven, CT, and author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations
This book has the potential to change the field of psychotherapy in remarkable ways. The authors give us the tools needed to take the guesswork out of the complexity of mind care by providing a path to professional excellence that is both orderly and governed by a clear set of principles. -- Dan Short, PhD, lead author of Hope and Resiliency
In this empirically sound and remarkably engaging work, Miller, Hubble, and Chow remind us that psychotherapy is a cocreative process that is more effective when corrective feedback, individualized treatment strategies, and continuous refinement are applied. This work gives hope to those who have felt confined and limited by rigid adherence to theories and techniques and seek to move beyond outdated clinical orthodoxies. I highly recommend this book to all who practice the art and science of psychotherapy. -- Paul J. Leslie, EdD, author of The Art of Creating a Magical Session: Key Elements for Transformative Psychotherapy
Better Results provides clinicians practice-based guidance to help clients achieve the results they are hoping for in counseling and therapy. It also provides tangible strategies for improving one’s own practice. -- Robbie Babins-Wagner, PhD, RCSW, Chief Executive Officer, Calgary Counselling Centre, and Adjunct Professor & Sessional Instructor, Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
