Model, 10 therapists are selected from a roster of more
than 70 treatment professionals, representing over 25 different modalities,
to create a team wholly engaged in treating one individual. The program
begins with a comprehensive assessment from multiple therapeutic
perspectives to develop a positively-framed treatment plan that is not
based solely on DSM-IV categories. During the treatments, the client
experiences three to five individual therapies daily. A team leader
oversees the continuity of each successive treatment and relays relevant
information about each session to the next practitioner.
"This approach was established for a number of reasons," said Moonview
Sanctuary Clinical Director Dr. Stephen I. Sideroff. "First, we believe
that multiple perspectives result in a more thorough assessment and allow
us to understand the patient in all his or her dimensions. Further, the
approach allows the patient to feel fully understood, in turn creating a
sense of safety and trust that facilitates the process going much deeper
than would otherwise be possible."
The study authors state that the Moonview Model is designed to be
ultimately flexible and adaptive. Each modality is carefully selected to
address the specific needs of the individual client and the sequence of
treatments is deliberate, designed to maximize the inherent benefits of
approach. The effectiveness of the individualized treatment plan is
evaluated daily in team consultation and continually adjusted to match the
client's progress or creatively overcome resistance or emotional blocks.
"The true power of this approach is its responsiveness to the client's
therapeutic breakthroughs," stated Moonview Sanctuary Medical Director Dr.
Terry Eagan. "By integrating the approaches of many different therapists
and changing treatments in response to progress, the client benefits from
the synergistic effects of each modality and achieves much greater results.
