Are psychotherapy training workshops worth the time and money? The current study examined the effectiveness of 3-hr and 6-hr versions of a workshop for health care providers in techniques for increasing motivation in resistant clients. Role plays were used to examine pretraining and posttraining behavior of graduate student and clinician participants from various health care fields. Both workshops were associated with higher levels of workshop-consistent behavior and lower levels of workshop-inconsistent behavior. Degree status (student or clinician) and openness to the material were not related to these changes. Results suggest potential guidelines for clinicians to determine whether a training opportunity would be useful. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
