This workshop introduces the ESFT theory of change, a session-level description of actions that therapists take to promote change. A theory of change is explained, highlighting specific therapist actions directly linked to treatment outcomes in ESFT-FBMHS. This workshop addresses the question often asked by therapists in ESFT training, “What do I do in sessions to promote change?” Seven ESFT mechanisms of change and the actions associated with each are described in detail and demonstrated through videotapes of family therapy sessions. Participants will practice using an ESFT fidelity self-monitoring tool with videotaped family therapy sessions to identify therapists’ actions consistent with ESFT mechanisms of change.
