Synopsis:

This casebook provides a personal account of the struggles a counselor encounters in everyday clinical practice. Each of the eight studies--thoughtfully detailed by the author from his own experience--illuminates the therapist/client relationship. Follow-up discussions tie each case and the therapist's technique to counseling theory and practice. A final conclusion links all cases and the related discourse together.
