SUMMARY:These Once Innovative Ideas Now Need to be Radically Applied (2026 WCCBT)
DESCRIPTION:Time zone shown is for Pacific Time. \n\n\n\n\n\nChristine A. Padesky Keynote Address – 1 hour\n\n\n\n“These Once Innovative Ideas Now Need to be Radically Applied“ \n\n\n\n11th World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies Congress \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDESCRIPTIONMany CBT therapists\, researchers and instructors today would describe themselves as client-centered\, collaborative and strengths-based. Padesky argues that we can elevate our effectiveness by applying these practices radically instead of perfunctorily. \n\n\n\nFor example\, when we practice Strengths-Based CBT more radically\, it transforms everything: the issues we discuss\, the goals we ask our clients to set\, and the methods we use to encourage clients to use their strengths for life transformation. Client-centered collaboration\, when radically applied\, considers with genuine interest: Socratic dialogues that lead to unexpected places\, client-generated conceptualizations that contradict accepted paradigms\, and novel interventions that resonate with client cultures. \n\n\n\nPadesky has been modelling radically client-centered\, radically collaborative and radically Strengths-Based CBT for nearly 50 years in her therapy\, world-wide teaching\, and video clinical demonstrations. Most of her therapy innovations resulted from her application of one or more of these three approaches. Many were considered radical at first. \n\n\n\nExamples of her innovations include:  \n\n\n\n\n7-Column Thought Record (Padesky\, 1983)\n\n\n\nAssertive Defense of the Self as a treatment for social anxiety (Padesky\, 1997)\n\n\n\nStrengths-Based CBT: A 4-step model to build resilience (Padesky & Mooney\, 2012)\n\n\n\nCollaborative Case Conceptualization (Padesky\, 2020)\n\n\n\n4-Stage Model of Socratic Dialogue (Padesky & Kennerley\, 2023)\n\n\n\nMind Over Mood (Greenberger & Padesky\, 1995; 2016)\n\n\n\n5-Part Model – when introduced in 1986 was the first CBT model to highlight the role of environment (Padesky & Mooney\, 1990)\n\n\n\n\nPadesky illustrates how radically applying client-centered\, collaborative\, and Strengths-Based CBT can improve our effectiveness. \n\n\n\nConsidering these approaches more radically also offers a rich tapestry of topics for untapped areas of research that can create opportunities for generations to come. \n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\n\nNAME one way in which radically client-centered\, collaborative and Strengths-Based CBT differs from standard CBT practices\n\n\n\nANALYZE the impact of adding environmental context to CBT models\n\n\n\nDESCRIBE two ways to incorporate radically client-centered\, collaborative\, and Strengths-Based CBT into your own clinical practice\, teaching\, or research\n\n\n\n\nChristine A.

SUMMARY:A 4-stage Model of Socratic Dialogue to Improve Therapy Effectiveness (2026 WCCBT)
DESCRIPTION:Time zone shown is for Pacific Time. \n\n\n\n\n\nChristine A. Padesky Workshop 17 – 3 hours\n\n\n\n“A 4-stage Model of Socratic Dialogue to Improve Therapy Effectiveness“ \n\n\n\n11th World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies Congress \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this training opportunity to learn best practices directly from Christine Padesky\, the innovator of the 4-Stage Model of Socratic Dialogue. \n\n\n\nDESCRIPTIONDo you sometimes struggle with common clinical traps such as clients not doing between session activities\, in session avoidance\, or rigid beliefs? Christine Padesky demonstrates how her 4-stage Model of Socratic Dialogue can help you effectively navigate these types of issues in ways that maximize client learning and elicit curiosity and discovery. \n\n\n\nResearch suggests clients may prefer Socratic therapy methods over didactic ones (Heiniger\, Clark\, & Egan\, 2018). Skillful therapist use of Socratic questioning has been linked to better therapy outcomes for both depression and PTSD (Braun et al.\, 2015; Farmer et al.\, 2017). \n\n\n\nUnfortunately\, therapists cite guided discovery therapy methods such as Socratic questioning as the most difficult therapy skills to master (Waltman\, Hall\, McFarr\, Beck\, & Creed\, 2017). Padesky’s 4-Stage Model of Socratic Dialogue (Padesky & Kennerley\, 2023) makes the processes of effective guided discovery much clearer and provides a structure to help therapists develop these skills more quickly and apply them artfully. \n\n\n\nParticipants learn how to: (1) Ask relevant informational questions\, (2) listen empathically\, and (3) make written summaries so that clients can answer (4) analytical and synthesizing questions. \n\n\n\nThis workshop includes interactive discussion and clinical demonstrations that marry structure with a client-centered\, collaborative\, strengths-based therapy approach. \n\n\n\nWORKSHOP OUTLINE \n\n\n\n\nResearch on Socratic Dialogue\n\n\n\nDemonstration: 4-stage Model of Socratic Dialogue (SD)\n\nInformational Questions\n\n\n\nEmpathic Listening\n\n\n\nWritten Summaries\n\n\n\nAnalytical & Synthesizing Questions\n\n\n\n\n\nTherapy Application #1 Group Practice: Debriefing learning experiences with Socratic Dialogue\n\nEmphasize learning not outcomes\n\n\n\nFocus on client discovery\n\n\n\n\n\nTherapy Application #2: Demo using Socratic Dialogue to test rigid beliefs\n\nImportance of written summary\n\n\n\nImpact of curiosity and discovery rather than trying to change client’s mind\n\n\n\n\n\nTherapy Application #3: How to use Socratic Dialogue for session summaries and as a bridge to future learning\n\n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\n\nLIST the four stages of Socratic dialogue\n\n\n\nDESCRIBE three common circumstances in which Socratic Dialogue is likely to be utilized in therapy sessions\n\n\n\nIDENTIFY two reasons that written summaries that use clients’ exact words can be one of the most powerful therapy interventions you can make\n\n\n\n\nChristine A.
