The best decisions are evidence-based. Not experience. Not gut feelings, but real, hard evidence. In so many aspects of our lives, we think nothing of expecting others to base their decisions on evidence. When you take your car into the shop, do you want your mechanic making decisions on how to repair your automobile based upon his gut feelings? Or do you want your stock broker making decisions about your financial investments based upon her/his gut feelings? Most people want such decisions to be evidence-based. For psychotherapy, this means using the best research findings to make therapeutic decisions.

Yeah, the therapeutic fallacy like the gamblers fallacy or the drinkers fallacy or any fallacy; it’s fallacious…!!!! 😅 The answer is there is no answer…watch “Life of Brian” the bit where Brian is visited by “the people”. They camp on his doorstep & his mother, a Python in drag, tells them to “bugger off”…Brian then appeals to them observing that they are “all individuals duals” a lone voice, with perfect timing, opines…”I’m not!” This is therapy…there are no constructs that can be used other than “there are no constructs that can be carried into the inter subjective space”. Therapy is a construct created in the inter subjective space between client & therapist, unique to every session & as such cannot be anticipated except that all knowledge is no knowledge. As Jung said “leave it all at the door”…how can this man BOT have anticipated Alex’s question…”so what makes an expert?” He responded as if that question had never occurred to him…?!😮🤷‍♂️ That should have been his opening consideration, surely…? As a philosophy graduate from Corsica said to me outside a café in Malia in Crete; “…the point is there is no point…” Touché, absolutalimon….😊👍

Haha relate to Jon's experience in supervision and I was also asking the specific questions and finding supervisors wanting with vague nostrums. Jon is a legend of our times. Therapists would do well to have a practical hobby like ju jitsu, crafting, music so one understands objectivity in evaluating good therapy

Great interview, I'm very interested in learning more about ISTDP but haven't found resources in my area. I prefer learning from people, not pre-recorded audios.
