About this title

Synopsis

Using Diagrams in Psychotherapy presents the Visually Enhanced Therapy framework, a unique approach to communicating information in psychotherapy. The framework brings visual information processing principles and techniques into the practice of psychotherapy to help therapists communicate more effectively with clients. Replete with illustrations and therapist thought boxes designed to help readers translate theory to practice, the book presents visual strategies that enable clients to become more actively engaged in therapy sessions and to better retain information. This is a thorough, user-friendly resource with numerous diagrams and worksheets for implementing visually oriented interventions across a broad range of clients, clinical settings, and clinical problems.
