Can Satir Therapy Become an Evidence-Based Practice?
Presented by Barbara J. Burns

D1

Time:   August 5, Tuesday, 9 am - 12pm

 

Presentation Description: 

Evidence-based practices are becoming standard for training, reimbursement and interventions for children and families. The current research base for Satir approaches is nonexistent, while other family therapy approaches (brief strategic and functional therapy) are widely disseminated. I will provide guidance about how to (1) delineate the components of an intervention; (2) develop research questions; and (3) affiliate with university-based investigators to conduct studies to establish Satir approaches as evidence-based.

 

Objectives:

  • Participants will understand the concept of evidence-based practice

  • Participants will examine the components of Satir Therapy and potential to increase the spread of Satir Therapy.

  • Participants will assess the potential to pursue research on Satir Therapy to establish it as an evidence-based practice

  • Participants will gain an understanding of the research requirement to achieve the status of evidence-based for Satir Therapy.
