EP 21: Alex Vaz on Becoming a Practitioner Researcher the Informed Simplicity podcast
-
- Social Sciences
"It's not that we're doing nothing. It's that a lot of the things we're focusing on {don't} seem to map to outcomes."
After talking with Alex I got the sense that if we weren't divided by an ocean we'd be good friends. Living in Lisbon, Portugal he does a little of everything, teaching, research, practice, etc. He first appeared on my radar after I stumbled upon his amazing youtube series for therapist: Psychotherapy Expert Talks where he interviews top therapist and researchers in the field. Not only is he super friendly and incredibly welcoming, he is also uniquely knowledgeable about therapy. In this episode we talk about
How explanations and rationals can dramatically improve your outcomes
The top therapist/ researcher he knows
Why models don't matter, and you should still pick one
and much much more
PS if you enjoyed this episode check out this episode with Scott Miller. He's another one on the frontier of the field.
