It's a difference, but is it significant?

Abstract

[Extract] Over the past weeks I have facilitated three workshops for psychologists. I have a standard introduction these days which alerts participants that I am not going to teach cognitive behavioural techniques. It is not an apology but a conscious political statement to explicitly identify that therapy can be practised in more than one modality. Interestingly, the majority of participants nod and smile on hearing this introduction. Many later say what a relief it is to hear about something other than CBT. These days, it certainly seems that nearly every workshop is about CBT for one condition or another. I think that people are starting to tire of the monoculture.
