Deliberate practice

Defined by the psychologist Anders Ericsson and his colleagues, deliberate practice is “the individualized training activities specially designed by a coach or teacher to improve specific aspects of an individual's performance through repetition and successive refinement” (Ericsson & Lehmann, 1996, pp. 278–279)."^[1]

Sentio University notes: "Deliberate Practice focuses on a student’s individual skill threshold, emphasizes interactive rehearsal for skill acquisition, aims for higher levels of sustained effort, and uses homework to advance clinical ability. Empirical research suggests that Deliberate Practice can significantly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of psychotherapy education and training (e.g., Goodyear & Rousmaniere, 2017; Rousmaniere, 2016; 2019)."^[2]
