ABSTRACT
This introductory chapter is provided to introduce CCPT and to provide the reader an initial understanding of what CCPT is. The authors work to develop an initial understanding of CCPT through definitions, comparisons to adult counseling and to non-counseling, exploring mechanisms of change and the background of CCPT in theories of counseling/psychotherapy. At the end of the chapter, the authors briefly introduce themselves and offer initial thoughts on counselor development and best use of this book.
