attendees of DOBT workshops conducted by Bruce Ecker, LMFT |
"The DOBT work continues to be amazing. It has actually formed
-- 25 years into my practice -- the backbone of my practice. Many people
make progress that is just breathtaking." -- Pat Kunstenaar, Ph.D.,
CA
"This seminar is without a doubt the most useful set of tools
I have learned in all my years of schooling and training and in 22 years
of practice....The incredible simplicity and power of this approach has
made me a much more effective therapist in a very short period of time....The
results are solid and lasting and have earned me a new level of gratitude
and respect from the clients I see. I am so amazed by the improved rate of
success...." -- Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D., IL
|
"Since 1968 I have been through trainings in strategic, narrative
and solution-oriented therapy as well as contemporary psychoanalytic psychology
(self psychology, Kleinian, etc.)... It is very clear to me that you have
created a system that is without equal... You have given me the most exciting
framework in which to continue to grow, develop, build on, and stay curious
and challenged." --Jesse Tuffman, Ph.D., CA
|
"I found myself alternately intrigued, moved, excited, and awed
by Ecker's presentation. It is a bold vision of what psychotherapy can be,
as conceptually strong as it is compassionate. If you seek ways of augmenting
the power and profundity of your practice, look no further than this workshop.
I wholeheartedly recommend DOBT as the most compelling incarnation of clinical
constructivism on the contemporary scene." --Robert A. Neimeyer, Ph.D.,
Editor, Journal of Constructivist Psychology
|
"I've been in practice for over 20 years and I have a very jaundiced
eye about new approaches. I've been using DOBT in the three sessions I started
off with today--Monday after the workshop. It's been incredibly effective--it's
astonishing!" -- Lynne Harrison, Ph.D., AZ
|
"I thought the presentation was brilliant--it made sense, the
presentation flowed, and I came away with a lot of tools with which to experiment
in my own practice." -- Gerald Thauberger, LMFT, President, East
Bay Chapter, California Association of Marriage & Family Therapists
|
"Ecker's workshop on DOBT was the most informative and therapeutically
helpful workshop that I have attended in the past 40 years of professional
practice." -- Merle Jordan, Th.D, LMFT, MA
|
"The most respectful and humane method of brief therapy I've
seen. Honors the depth and complexity of human experience." -- Gawaine
J. Banks, Ph.D., OH
|
"This was one of the best and most clearly presented workshops
I've attended. Interesting throughout the two days." -- Cathy Moore,
Ph.D., CA
|
"Wanted to let you know how valuable your seminar has continued
to be for me. Some of the things I learned have become a central part of
my work with people." -- Mary Jen Meerdink, Ph.D., OH
|
"Want to let you know what a lasting impact the training has
had on me. The level of my work has taken a dramatic leap." -- Grace
Manning-Orenstein, Ph.D., LMFT, CA
|
"The attention to the symptom and the techniques for getting
to basic constructs are excellent. The conceptual base is excellent." --
Robert Barram, Ph.D., CA
|
"I still regard your workshop as the best of numerous ones I've
attended. I'm still using the techniques and hope you have an advanced seminar
close to my area." -- Mary Andrea, MSW, NH
|
"It was the best seminar I've ever attended. I tried using the
concepts and techniques in my work last week, with truly amazing results."
-- Diana Barich, LCSW, CA
|
"The presentation was well organized, compelling, stimulating
-- it really left me hopeful about meeting the demands of doing psychotherapy
in our era without losing what matters." -- Deborah Burgard, Ph.D.,
CA
|
"Athletes talk about being in a new or higher zone... Ever since
[the DOBT workshop six months ago] I feel like the therapy I do has been
in a different zone. I am grateful for this change, as are many of my clients..."
-- Sheldon Eisenberg, Ph.D., OH
|
"I want to say how much I appreciated the workshop last weekend.
I am using it already immensely. I very much appreciate the fact that your
work can be integrated in any kind of modality....I feel very empowered with
your work." -- Birgit Volt, LMFT, CA
|
"It's such a great embodiment of what therapy can be." -- Jeanne-Marie
Moore, LCSW, CA
|
"Opens up a sense of hopefulness rather than loss or grief in
transitioning to brief treatment. Thank you." -- N.S., LCSW, CA
|
"A wonderful synthesis of experiential and brief theory which
truly accommodates current need for brief treatment." -- R.T., MSW,
IL
|
"It has much more sensitivity and warmth than other brief therapies.
Mr. Ecker is an experienced therapist/presenter, and a natural as a teacher."
-- Anon., MFCC, CA
