Synopsis

Capturing the questions and concerns of beginning therapists, this text seeks to help student therapists understand the therapeutic process and how change occurs. The book includes therapeutic goals and intervention strategies for each phase of treatment, and is organized to parallel the course of treatment from initial client contact to termination. This text bridges the gap between basic skills, case formulations, and intervention strategies with real clients in real settings. The author uses the interpersonal process approach as an organizing framework to integrate cognitive-behavioural, family systems, and interpersonal/dynamic approaches throughout the text. This approach assumes that the therapist-client relationship is the foundation of therapeutic change, and the text shows readers how to build this relationship with clients. This edition is accompanied by a video and a hands-on workbook.

Review

Best text for introducing beginning counselors to the psychotherapeutic process. While drawing on interpersonal theories, object relations, and family systems theories, this book provides the reader with approaches the therapist can use in developing a collaborative relationship with the client. Abundant case illustrations help the reader to link the theory to actual practice examples. Specific guidelines help the reader to understand the complexities of interpersonal relationships in the client's life.
