ABSTRACT

Individual Counseling and Therapy, 3rd edition, goes beyond the typical counseling textbook to teach the language of therapy from the basic to the advanced. Lucidly written and engaging, this text integrates theory and practice with richly illustrated, real-life case examples and dialogues that demystify the counseling process. Readers will learn how to use winning skills and techniques tailored to serve clients—from intake to problem exploration, awareness raising, problem resolution, and termination. Students have much to gain from the text’s depth, insights, candor, and practicality—and less to be befuddled by while they develop their therapeutic voice for clinical practice. PowerPoints, chapter test questions, and an instructor’s manual are available for download.
