Why Every Consultation Program Needs a Framework
Most consultation training gives you requirements to satisfy. It does not give you a methodology for how to actually consult. The result: newly minted Approved Consultants carry clinical expertise into consultation rooms without a structured way to use it โ and consultees end up either overwhelmed or stagnant, not because their consultant lacks knowledge, but because the work lacks structure.
"The missing ingredient is not expertise. It is structure."
โ Kathy Couch, Introducing the Developmental Consultation FrameworkThe DCF solves this. Built on Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development and Freire's problem-posing model, it gives you a developmental map for locating where a consultee actually is โ and a scaffolding logic for intervening at the right level. In this program, the DCF is not background theory. It is the methodology you practice in every session โ so that by the time you consult independently, you already know how to use it.
