Advanced Skills and Interventions in Therapeutic Counseling
Gordon Emmerson, Ph D |
|
Advanced Skills and Interventions in Therapeutic Counseling is written for the advanced student as well as for practicing mental health professionals. It provides the reader with an understanding of the client’s personality, and reviews the fundamentals of the counseling process, such as setting up of the counseling room, how to interact with the client, and advanced active listening skills. It gives the reader a means to assess their clients so that the direction of therapy is clear. In addition, it provides illustrations for each step of the therapeutic process.
Unlike the DSM-R where clients are diagnosed into categories, the counseling assessment procedure provided in this book places each client issue into a category. Client problems are presented as falling into two main divisions, internal dissent and situational concerns, as well as into a number of sub-categories. A flowchart is provided to assist counselors to determine the best direction for therapy for each issue. Clearly illustrated counseling interventions are presented to demonstrate the various directions therapy may take. Among the therapeutic interventions that are covered and illustrated are:
• Depression
• Sexual abuse
• Relationship issues
• Obsessive compulsive behavior
• Anger
• Trauma and Crisis Intervention
• Grief and loss
• Suicidal Behavior
This is a “must have” book for any counselor or therapist as it that starts with the very foundations of therapy and carries through to the very end.
“This is the most refreshing text of its kind to appear in many years. Dr. Emmerson thoroughly reviews the fundamentals of the counseling process while bringing to light key new approaches overlooked in other sources. The writing is clear, concise and stimulating.”—Arreed Franz Barabasz, EdD, PhD, ABBP, Editor,International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis
