Course Material Authors
Course Material Authors authored the material only, and were not involved in creating this CE course. They are identified here for your own evaluation of the relevancy of the material this course is based on.
Bernard Schwartz, Ph.D.
Dr. Schwartz has written a number of books. As a supervisor of doctoral students, it became clear to him that there was no single book which briefly yet comprehensively described the major clinical errors that lead to poor therapeutic outcomes. Hence the impetus for this book.
John V. Flowers, Ph.D.
Dr. Flowers is a professor of psychology at Chapman University and a clinical psychologist in private practice. His research has focused on psychotherapy process and outcome, and more recently psychotherapy in the cinema. As a clinical supervisor for over twenty years, he has observed first hand most of the errors he has written about in his book.
