Therapist-Worldview Matching: Not as Important as Matching to Clients
Blow, Adrian J.; Davis, Sean D.; Sprenkle, Douglas H.
Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v38 ns1 p13-17 Jun 2012
In this essay, we respond to Simon's article (2012). We discuss our view that therapy works best when therapists can match therapeutic interventions to the worldview of clients. We see this matching to client worldview as rooted in research evidence, and we suggest that therapists can practice authentically and effectively using more than one divergent therapy approach. We conclude the paper by pointing out points of disagreement we have with Simon's use of Davis and Piercy's ("Journal of Marital and Family Therapy," 2007a; 33, 298; "Journal of Marital and Family Therapy," 2007b, 32, 515) study, a study Simon uses to ground his arguments.
