#11. The Edges and Leverages on Using Deliberate Practice Keynote Address

Frontiers of Psychotherapist Development Podcast by Daryl Chow, Ph.D.

This is a keynote address given by Daryl Chow, Ph.D. for a virtual conference hosted by the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
Cumulative evidence in psychotherapy suggests that we not only do not improve with experience, our typical professional development efforts by attending workshops, and engaging in clinical supervision do not lead to better performance. The aim of this keynote is to address the current cutting edge development of deliberate practice in psychotherapy, and its implications on how we can leverage to improve our outcomes.
