Dr. Bill Stiles returns to the show to continue the discussion on understanding responsiveness in psychotherapy.
Dr. Stiles discusses the Fever Model in therapy, emphasizing the relationship between client disclosures and therapeutic outcomes. He explores how depression can impede the natural process of disclosure, which is often an adaptive response to psychological distress. Then, Dan and Dr. Stiles delve into the complexities of responsiveness in therapy, the challenges faced by novice therapists, and the importance of theory building through case studies.
