08 - Measurement, or, When Everyone Is Above Average, No One Is

In two separate studies almost a decade apart, hundreds of mental health clinicians evaluated their own work compared to that of their colleagues. In both studies, *not a single participant* evaluated themselves as being below average. In this episode, we'll talk about why we as therapists and counselors think we're so good, and how measuring outcomes can give you a far more accurate and useful -- if occasionally humbling -- picture.

Episode 1 - How licensing exams are like the TSA

They're a rite of passage every counselor and therapist has to go through. And yet, there's no actual evidence that they do the one thing they are supposed to do: Ensure safe practice. In this first episode of the Psychotherapy Notes podcast, we talk about the problems with license exams -- and why we should keep them anyway.
