Interpersonal Process in Therapy: An Integrative Model

Interpersonal Process in Therapy: An Integrative Model, 7th Edition strongly focuses on the therapist-client relationship, offering students practical guidelines for how to understand and intervene with clients from the initial intake through termination. Compelling to read and discuss - and immediately helpful with clients - the text brings together core clinical concepts and research as well as the interpersonal/relational elements from various theoretical approaches, and clearly explains how to use the therapeutic relationship to effect change.

The authors help alleviate beginning therapists' concerns about making "mistakes," teach therapists how to work with their own counter-transference issues, and empower new therapists to be themselves in their counselling relationships. Featuring new case examples, updated references and research, and extended clinical vignettes, the seventh edition of this clinically authentic text brings the reader "in the room" with the therapist.
