Summary

When providing services, clinicians spend so much time complaining that our clients don’t what we tell them fast enough that we often find ourselves tracking “non-compliance” as a beahvior of change. But what if instead of seeing “non-compliance” as a problem behavior, we thought of it as a removal of treatment assent? This week Dr. Haley Steinhauser and Alex Kishbaugh join us to discuss the importance of assessing and gaining client consent in our practice and how signalling “no” isn’t a problem, but a skill.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
