Welcome and Introduction from Don!

Hello, This is Don Meichenbaum and wishing you a very warm welcome you to my website.

Here I have tried to summarize my experience and contributions in psychology and psychotherapy which now span more than 50 years.

There is an adage that the life of a person is best reflected in the legacy that they leave. Over my career I have been fortunate to have been involved in a wide variety of clinical activities including the development of evidence-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy, treating patients, and conducting supervision and consultation. I have included information all these topics and areas for you here and within my Legacy Programme of Courses.

I have included throughout this website what I consider to be the key lessons and principles across psychotherapy including:

• What the most expert psychotherapists do with their patients
• How to spot hype which is so pervasive in our profession of psychotherapy
• How to deliver a strengths-based and constructive narrative approach in psychotherapy, and
• How to develop and maintain resilience across our entire lifespans, families, and communities.

I hope you find these subjects and material found here as fascinating and intriguing as I have.

Let me take his opportunity to thank you for being here, and moreover, let me if I can commend you for your good judgment!
