Description
This guidebook provides therapists in training with a practical (versus theoretical) focus. Its aim is to describe how to meet challenges in the psychotherapeutic process from first session to termination. An eclectic orientation is used throughout, therapy excerpts are used to show various methods of meeting therapeutic challenges, and tables are used to summarize material. The book represents a group of experienced student colleagues and mentors with whom the student reader can consult when preparing for a particular phase of training. Readers are presented with the practical skills, insights, and guidance pertinent to working with clients.
