Abstract: Challenging the “Gold Standard” in psychotherapy
While Psychotherapy has been trying for decades if not centuries to emulate “hard sciences”, it is this author’s belief that this approach is a large disservice to our patients/clients. Rigorous research by both Genlin (1957) and Cook (1964), as well as my own (Pinco 2008) demonstrates that it is the attuned presence of the therapist, which facilitates the client’s coming to stillness that is the best indicator of success in therapy. Further, approaches like prolong exposure, which have been labeled as the gold standard in trauma treatment most frequently result in traumatization rather than healing.
Sadly, our understanding the interplay of emotions, physical sensations and cognition is still in it’s infancy. That being said, research conducted by D. Antinori, S. Brand and S. Pinco, unpublished, using EEG and Brainspotting, supports the research of Genlin, Cook and Pinco and points to signification changes in Brain states during and post sessions. More research will help us to understand the mechanisms that are benchmarks of the healing that Brainspotting Therapists witness daily in their sessions.
