Show Notes
In the first episode of Season 2 of The Art of Therapy, we return to the foundational skills that shape meaningful therapeutic work: observation and diagnosis.
Join Dr. Warrick Phipps and psychologist Marizaan Koen on an exploration of the role of trained observation in therapy, not simply as a passive process of noticing, but as an active, clinical tool that shapes the entire therapeutic journey. From the initial understanding of a client’s distress to the evolving strategies used in treatment, observation is deeply intertwined with diagnostic thinking. Rather than viewing diagnosis as a one-time step, this conversation highlights it as a recursive process—one that continually refines and deepens the work of therapy.
