Achieving Clinical Excellence:

Three Steps to Superior Performance

Full Day Workshop: Dr. Scott D. Miller, The International Center for Clinical Excellence

Thanks to a number of recent studies, there is now solid empirical evidence for what distinguishes highly effective from average therapists. In this workshop, you will learn three specific strategies that separate the great from the good. You will also learn a simple method for measuring success rates that can be used to develop a profile of your most and least effective moments in therapy — what works and what doesn’t.

Not only will you get a far more exact idea of your clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings in order to improve your own practice, but you will also come away with concrete tools that will immediately boost your clinical abilities and effectiveness.

Supportive Psychotherapy & Supervision for the Busy Clinician

Key Note Presenter: Dr. Craigan Usher, OHSU

In busy medical services and in urgent mental healthcare settings, maintaining psychotherapeutic focus can be difficult. Borrowing from Dr. Deborah Cabaniss’ model of formulating and providing supportive psychotherapy, Dr. Usher will discuss how following few simple steps can keep hope alive–allowing the busy clinician (say, social worker in the ER, psychiatrist in the hospital, a clinician in a community mental health agency, or school counselor) to make certain that brief interactions support individuals’ ego functioning, helping them utilize their strengths to cope with adversity.
