EP13 Invited Address 13 – The Motivation Revolution – David Burns, MD

Description:

New research indicates that motivation influences how we think, feel, and behave, as much as cognitions, and that the failure to address resistance is the cause of most therapeutic failure. Dr. Burns will describe the eight most common forms of resistance and present powerful new techniques to melt away resistance before using any cognitive, behavioral, or interpersonal techniques.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe the difference between Outcome Resistance and Process Resistance.
2. Describe the most common cause of nearly all therapeutic failure.
3. Describe paradoxical techniques to melt away resistance and motivate resistant patients.
