How does a therapist grow from a novice into a master? In this interview, Dr. Stan Tatkin will give his thoughts on the journey toward excellence. Stan’s own commitment to professional discovery led him to create PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy®), a powerful and novel approach to working with couples. In this interview, Stan will reflect on his own process of learning (how he ‘learned to learn’), while offering priceless advice to his fellow clinicians on how to set our path firmly in the direction of growth.
