Improving treatment with feedback-informed care with Dr. Scott Miller

In this conversation, Dan speaks with Dr. Scott Miller about improving psychotherapy using feedback and using feedback to facilitate deliberate practice. The conversation covers Scott's journey in the field of therapy, his experiences in different settings, and the development of feedback-informed treatment (FIT). FIT involves soliciting formal feedback from clients about their progress and engagement in therapy. The therapist uses this feedback to tailor the treatment to better fit the client's needs. The conversation also touches on the importance of monitoring outcomes and the challenges of implementing feedback-informed care. In this part of the conversation, Scott and Dan discuss the importance of measuring progress and using feedback to inform treatment decisions. They emphasize the need to consider adding or removing elements from the treatment plan if there is no progress after a certain number of sessions. They also discuss the concept of outcome-focused treatment and the importance of involving the client in the decision-making process. Scott shares an analogy from medicine to illustrate the need for a collaborative approach to treatment. They also discuss the challenges and objections to implementing measurement-based care, including concerns about burdening clients and the need for training and support for clinicians. They highlight the benefits of using feedback measures to facilitate conversations about termination and the potential for improving outcomes through deliberate practice. ______________ Dr. Scott Miller is the founder of the International Center for Clinical Excellence an international consortium of clinicians, researchers, and educators dedicated to promoting excellence in behavioural health services ______________ 00:00 Introduction 02:30 Early Career Doubts and Anxieties 06:15 Transition from California to Milwaukee 11:00 Working at Brief Family Therapy Center 14:50 Early Days of Solution-Focused Therapy 19:30 Watching and Reflecting on Therapy 24:45 Solution-Focused Therapy Techniques 30:10 Challenges in Therapy Research Outcomes 34:40 Meeting Mark Hubble and Barry Duncan 38:55 Developing Feedback-Informed Treatment 44:30 Using Measurement Tools in Therapy 50:05 Transitioning to Private Practice 54:10 Importance of Client Feedback in Therapy 58:20 Empirical Support for Feedback-Informed Care 1:05:00 How to Apply Feedback in Therapy Sessions 1:10:35 Lessons from Medical Field in Outcome Monitoring 1:16:50 Conclusion and Final Thoughts ______________ Follow Psychotherapy & Applied Psychology!!
