STAIRCaSE: Transtheoretical Case Formulation for Corrective Experience with Marvin R. Goldfried, Ph.D.

At this virtual CE journal club on Wednesday 1/11/23 from 11:00 a.m.to 12:30 p.m. ET, Marvin R. Goldfried, Ph.D., will guide us through a transtheoretical approach to case conceptualization captured by the acronym STAIRCaSE. Registrants will receive a chapter and associated resources that Dr. Goldfried requires as reading in advance. Please have the handouts you will receive as a registrant printed out and available to reference. 

Wisdom Wednesday CE events often include experiential practice of evidence-based procedures.  Dr. Goldfried will offer consultation feedback in support of formulating cases using the STAIRCase model.

The ongoing wisdom Wednesday series focuses on some of the transtheoretical constructs and processes of change that continue to emerge as therapeutic trans-diagnostically, including assertiveness, compassion, and other  factors that support exposure to corrective emotional experiences that promote learning, intentional change efforts, and the generalization of skills in a client's life. This is a continuation of the CE event where the focus was his article, Obtaining Consensus in Psychotherapy: What Holds Us Back?.  

Attendees are asked to come prepared for respectful dialogue and also welcome to bring questions related to Talking Therapy - the You Tube / Spotify series where he is in dialogue with Allen Frances, M.D. about transtheoretical constructs applicable transdiagnostically
