Establishing a Culture of Patient Safety

The purpose of this book is to provide a road map to help healthcare professionals establish a “culture of patient safety” in their facilities and practices, provide high quality healthcare, and increase patient and staff satisfaction by improving communication among staff members and between medical staff and patients. It achieves this by describing what each of six types of people will do in distress, by providing strategies that will allow healthcare professionals to deal more effectively with staff members and patients in distress, and by showing healthcare professionals how to keep themselves out of distress by getting their motivational needs met positively every day.

The concepts described in this book are scientifically based and have withstood more than 40 years of scrutiny and scientific inquiry. They were first used as a clinical model to help patients help themselves, and indeed are still used clinically. The originator of the concepts, Dr. Taibi Kahler, is an internationally recognized clinical psychologist who was awarded the 1977 Eric Berne Memorial Scientific Award for the clinical application of a discovery he made in 1971. That discovery enabled clinicians to shorten significantly the treatment time of patients by reducing their resistance as a result of miscommunication between their doctors and themselves.

 

Communication: The Key to Effective Leadership

Using the concepts explained in this book, one CEO grew his company from $85 million to $100 million. A Vice President added $10 million to his bottom line in one year. A CEO who is a turnaround specialist successfully led two restaurant chains from near bankruptcy to sustained profitability. Other leaders have used these concepts successfully in improving team cohesiveness and productivity, in negotiating, in dealing with boards of directors, in fundraising, in education to raise the academic achievement of their students, and in many other ways.

These and many other stories are used in this book to explain the concepts and connect theory to practice in ways that enable the busy leader to understand how to apply them in their daily lives.

Renowned trainers Judy and Joe Pauley describe for you the six personality types: Reactor, Workaholic, Persister, Dreamer, Rebel, and Promoter. Since no person fits neatly into one single category, they present a nuanced view of these types and the different “floors” of all of our personalities. The book then describes the needs and perceptions of each of the personality types, and the channels and interaction styles you can use to reach each of them.

The concepts described in this book are scientifically based and have withstood nearly 40 years of scrutiny and scientific inquiry. They are also universal, having been proven effective everywhere they’ve been used—in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

 

The Process Therapy Model: the six personality types with adaptations – Taibi Kahler, Ph.D.

This is a handbook on the anatomy of personality that therapists and non-therapists alike will fi nd to be an invaluable aid to effective communication and positive change. Because it is grounded in process, clinicians can use Dr. Kahler’s Process Therapy Model in conjunction with the therapeutic or counselling approach they otherwise prefer. The PTM model provides a means of rapidly and accurately assessing personality structure through language and behavioural cues. Dr. Kahler’s six Personality Types and the role that each plays in everyone’s personality structure are described in detail.

The identification of the unique way that each type perceives the world, combined with knowledge of the channel or style of communication, that each prefers, provides a formula for immediately connecting and establishing rapport.

Dr. Kahler’s award-winning discoveries of Drivers and Miniscripts provide a second-by-second means of knowing if a person is ‘open’ to how we are speaking, as well as the level of distress the person is experiencing and how the person is likely to sabotage his or her success.

Dr. Kahler identifies the three sequential degrees of distress behaviour that are unique to each Personality Type, when that behaviour is likely to indicate a Ware Adaptation, and intervention strategies to address that behaviour.

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the model is the concept of ‘Phasing’ and the developmental stages and related issues that precipitate it. Phase changes are times in which we experience prolonged, intense distress, work through that distress and
emerge with a new motivational outlook. The model describes how each Type experiences a Phase change, identifies how best to resolve the struggle and predicts how our motivations will change afterward.

What's being said about "The Process Therapy Model":

"This is the definitive work for understanding and working with the six PTM Personality Types and integrating my Personality Adaptations. Taibi is a theorist's theorist. Every therapist needs to know and use his Process Therapy Model."
 Paul Ware, M.D., Chairman of the School of Psychiatry at LSU Health Services Center, and originator of Personality Adaptations

"I have known a number of "professional giants" in the fields of behavioral science and medicine, including Nobel Prize winners. But I am most grateful for what I have learned from my continued contact with Taibi Kahler. His Process Therapy Model revolutionizes how we understand, diagnose, and treat people in psychotherapy. His model is extremely valuable for predicting behavior. "
Terrence McGuire, M.D., Lead Psychiatrist for Manned Spaceflight, NASA, 1959-1996

"Finally a book for therapists that patients can read, understand, and use. Dr. Kahler's concepts of life phases and issues is fascinating, and explains so much about how we are the same person but change with life’s challenges. Not since Passages have I read anything so enlightening."
 Luther Johnson, Ph.D., Psychologist and (ret.) Chaplin

“This book is pure genius. An amazing achievement."
 Stephen Karpman, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCSF, twice winner of the Eric Berne Memorial Scientific Award, and originator of the Drama Triangle
