Counseling Single Parents: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach

This text examines the process of counseling single parents. The authors' central point is that single parents have resilience but little time to recognize it -- until visiting with a therapist who can listen and help articulate solutions to their problems. The authors present a set of eight structured phases providing a natural therapeutic progression for any counselor or therapist to follow. Each chapter begins with learning objectives, is replete with exercises and case studies to illustrate each of the eight phases, and ends with suggested readings. This is a must read for all counselors-in-training.
