Synopsis

This book offers a helping hand to trainees wishing to make the transition to the next level in their counseling and psychotherapy training. With wide-ranging content closely aligned to actual practice, this intermediate level text covers the research-informed skills, interventions, processes and issues that students need to know once they′ve covered the basics. It includes specific techniques from different therapeutic orientations, how to tailor the skills or approach used to the specific client problem, case conceptualization and management, therapeutic alliance; establishing and exploring the relationship, ethics, multidisciplinary working, and how to deal with situations such as silence, crying, and aggression.

Integrating cognitive, behavioral, person-centered/experiential and psychodynamic approaches, the author provides research-informed practical instructions on how to deliver therapy and includes extracts from counseling sessions to demonstrate the skills in action.

Review:

"Developing Your Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills and Practice fills the void between books that cover basic counseling skills and those that cover specific methods in depth. For the trainee or clinician who asks ′I am sitting in front of my client, now what do I do next?′, Timulak′s book will provide that answer."
