Respond appropriately to nonresponse and lack of therapeutic success

It’s a myth: “Psychotherapy works if you just apply the techniques correctly.” However, there are patients for whom even established interventions do not work, who resist certain approaches, or whom you simply cannot satisfy. These patients, who are either hard to reach in therapy or do not benefit from it, are very challenging. The materials in this therapy tool kit provide concrete support to identify patients with low response and to engage with them appropriately. This may also mean accepting that psychotherapy may not be successful and seeking alternative options.
