Why Train in the ART Method?

Laney Rosenzweig, the developer of the ART method, says:
Why keep clients in pain any longer than is necessary?
Our memories belong to us – they are our property and rent space in our head – we can choose to change or evict the unhealthy ones. That is empowering!
ART calms as it removes the traumatic sliver and allows the client to heal quickly and naturally.
ART has been called a ‘shortcut.’ Yes, and it is a fabulous shortcut. Would clients choose a long drawn out root canal or would they choose a faster route, if possible? (pun intended). Wouldn’t you choose the procedure that quickly does the job and gives you rapid relief? ART is that fast and effective procedure for most mental health issues.
Ethics dictate clinicians need to offer clients the most effective therapy known. ART is the most effective therapy I know.
Clinicians ask “Will this put me out of work because it is so quick?” The reward for being good at what you do is more referrals. And, who is the client going to go back to when they want to resolve other issues? ART is combined with traditional talk sessions to process changes.
ART releases pent up negative energy associated with a problem. Once this release occurs the client’s affect changes immediately and they will never feel the same about that problem again – just like candy dangling in a machine – help it move a bit and it falls.
Move your eyes for peace.
ART Works!


SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? I think I am going to vomit...

😕😕😕 huh? This is the sort of thing that gives us a bad name.

I know!!! The only reason I heard about it was because my best friend is going to see an "ART therapist" !!! He has been looking for a therapist, and ended up making an appointment for next week with this crack pot woman. She told him over the phone that she specializes in "Accelerated Resolution Therapy." I said to him "what?? what is that??" So naturally I looked into this "therapy" and became outraged. I am trying to convince him to cancel his appointment and that this is a gimmick and a waste of money, but my friend is the type of person that is always looking for the quick fix. This therapy probably sounds ideal for him. I asked him to call back the therapist and have her provide him with research that shows the efficacy of this "therapy" and he just seemed confused and irritated.

Apparently she is an MSW, and not a psychologist, so I suppose it doesn't really give us specifically a bad name. Although most people outside of the field don't understand the distinction anyways. So in a way it does indeed give therapy a bad name.

Maybe all this talk about it being so 'fast' is because their clients only come in for two or three sessions and then never return, so the 'therapist' thinks it must be because they've been miraculously cured!

Seriously, though, this makes me nauseous.

LOL perhaps. I cannot wait to hear how the first session goes, if my friend actually ends up going. I may need to keep trying to talk him out of this!

Interesting. I read the website, and as much as I can glean the therapy works to kind of flip false memory syndrome on its head. Essentially remake old bad memories into positive ones. Sketch-eeee.

It's amazing how much of this crap is out there. I've run into therapists doing something called Tapas something or other, therapists doing something called Brainspotting, therapists doing shamanic journeying, therapists doing all kinds of stuff. I mean why go to school at all? Why not just hang out a shingle as a faith healer?

 

[psich]

Sounds a little like EMDR...

 

[arsesta]

She's actually a MFT, and these are the folks who do a 2-yr MA in counseling psych (or MFT) program, complete some post-MA hours (3000?) and get licensed/set up shop! This is crazy... there is no quality control, and I cannot believe people will actually go there for treatment!!!! Makes me wonder why I am investing 6 hrs of my life in a PhD after which I will be competing with these folks for clients (and they will probably get the clients because they can charge less).

 

[Student4Life0]

Well I guess we will never how the session goes because I got my friend to cancel. He made an appt with a Psy.D instead. I'm happy that he won't be wasting his time and money, and contributing to the practice of these quacks!

 

[Ollie123]

I suspect it has little to do with training...unfortunately there are plenty of doctoral level quacks running around out there too. Indeed there is a PhD and a PsyD on the site listed as having been "trained"...that's quackery without the creativity and entrepreneurship of the founder!

That said, this doesn't surprise me even a tiny bit, nor is it even approaching on the most extreme example. It seems like once you forge out of academia or major hospitals...things go downhill fast. I know we have all kinds of ridiculous things going on in private practice around here...and I know the referral list our school clinic maintains seems disturbingly short relative to the number of therapists there are around here. Some are excellent....many are not. Unfortunately, it does not appear that being a remotely competent psychologist t is a prerequisite for building a thriving practice. I saw the same thing at APA...people coming up to my poster talking about NLP and trying to convince me to hop on board with this or that unproven "new age" technique they invented, telling me about other whacky things they are doing...all while I smile and nod and hope no one legitimate walks by and sees me talking to them. One more reason why I don't intend to go back and have developed a strong dislike for APA!

 

[Student4Life0]

Ollie, what is NLP?

 

[Ollie123]

Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Just one of many examples, but for some reason I had 3-4 people bring it up over the course of the convention so it was the first one that came to mind.

This reminds me of one of my first clinical social work courses. The instructor, a proponent of evidence based practice, presented the results of an internet search of therapists (MSW, MFT, PhD/PsyD, etc) that claimed to provide such services as Angel Healing, Shamanic Dream Therapy, Crystal Healing, Reiki, etc. His point was, if you want to perform these techniques, fine, but don't do it as a licensed professional. If you want to be a shaman, become a shaman. If you want to work with angels, become a religious practitioner, etc., but licensed individuals have no business providing such services. Kind of alarming the vast amount of practitioners that provide these types of services.

Also, it is important to note that this has little to do with length of education or professional orientation. Psychologists and psychiatrists are just as prone to promoting these services as master level practitioners.

 

[sunlioness]

Exactly.

 

[pingouin]

Looks similar to the therapy I discussed in this thread.

I note both come out of Florida- what's up with that?

 

[Student4Life0]

Are they out there (psychologists and psychiatrists)? Yes, but I doubt it's in the same proportion. Science. That's the difference.

👍👍👍👍

 

[BSWdavid]

👍👍👍👍

So master level practitioners are less informed by science than doctoral level clinicians?
