Synopsis

For courses in Introduction to Counseling/Psychotherapy, Counseling Skills, and Advanced Counseling/Psychotherapy.

Taking a very practical “how to be a psychotherapist” approach, this overview of the process of counseling provides information that is fundamental to counseling, but not representative of any one theoretical orientation. Concise, yet thorough―and accessible to novice and seasoned professional alike―it explores counseling basics (e.g., skills, relationship building) as well as specific populations (e.g., groups, clients in crisis, couples, and diverse populations).

About this title

Review:

"This is a book that clearly and skillfully integrates most theories of psychotherapy . . . using frequent references to literature . . . and direct quotations, which substantiate [their] position on specific issues."

― Senez Rodriquez-Charbonier, Ph.D., Grand Valley State University
