This cutting-edge workshop identifies the ways excellent psychotherapists interact with help-seekers to get the best results. Rather than implementing the prescribed models with fidelity, excellent healers enhance the common factors of therapy by relying on character, flexibility, and interpersonal acumen, which they share with other excellent healers. I refer to these characteristic ways of being as interpersonal wisdom in psychotherapy.
