The basis of clinical practice is founded on a service provider’s ability to practice within the scope of their professional knowledge, training, and experience. While providers are ethically bound to do so, the research shows that service providers consistently overestimate both clinical abilities and client progress (Wampold, 2010; Walfish, et al, 2012; Garb, 1999, Duncan, et al, 2010). This webinar looks at service providers’ confidence and its connection to clinician satisfaction, finding meaning in practice, and preventing burnout.
This presentation covers empirically good and bad clinical practices, creating a balance of confidence and competence, and how this impacts burnout and self-care. Clinical judgment and bias effects on the therapeutic relationship, interventions, and professional’s ability to determine treatment effectiveness will be covered. Literature will be presented to help identify plans of engagement, collaborative problem-solving with clients, and improving clinical efficacy through ethical scenarios.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand multiple skills to promote both competence and confidence of self-care and self-efficacy in their practice.
- Identify clinical judgment errors and partiality that impact their treatment interventions, engagement strategies, clinical advocacy, and evaluation of progress.
- Learn strategies to optimize professional growth and self-care through finding meaning in their work and creating proficiency.
