How does a therapist structure a counseling session? How is trust established between counselor and client? And, can a therapist accurately evaluate the success of the counseling process? This volume answers these and other questions by taking the counselor step-by-step through the counseling process. From the first encounter to the final session, contributors present ideas on how to structure sessions, outline the various stages of the counseling process, offer suggestions on how to deal with reluctant clients, and discuss the termination of therapy. In addition, they address the problem of the counselor-client relationship.
