Hi Stuart, thanks for your comments.

I do not think scripts are good for therapists to rely on and use as a matter of course within their work with clients all the time necessarily. I think understanding the technique you are using is most important.

What I was referring to, was that when you conduct research on techniques, a standardised script gets used to remove variables of tone, language and words being used. It is then delivered exactly the same to all participants in a study. You can then know that if you use that script, it is going to have a certain % chance of being efficacious. At times, I think it is going to be useful to know that and use those scripts – especially with systematic desensitisation for example, which has been studied greatly.

That is what I was referring to at Change Phenomena – I hope it explains 🙂

Best wishes, Adam.

Sounds like a great day was had by all. I purchased a DVD copy of the very first change phenomena event and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Question… you state:

“Also, Norman Vaughton refuting the use of standardised scripts for treatments with the use of some sharp wit which I had to enjoy despite my advocacy of such standardisation.”

I’m either not understanding what you’re saying here, or you seem to be pro standardised scripts? I thought you were against scripts…

Am I missing something or have I read wrong?

My very best wishes,

Stuart
