Counseling and Therapy Skills by Martin, David G. Martin, David G.

From the Publisher

This practical book discusses many fundamental concepts and provides a closer look at important views that have emerged most recently in the field of counseling and therapy. Expanded material explores what beginning therapists need to know and offers practical advice about beginning sessions, settings for therapy, ethical issues, and different formats for therapy. Martin’s clear, engaging tone guides readers involved in a variety of helping professions toward being intuitive, experiential, and full of presence—being evocatively empathic so that each client feels deeply understood. This innovative text helps beginning therapists learn skills without losing sight of the art of therapy! A tape recording of five actual therapy sessions is available to adopters at no charge and may be duplicated for students. Students can observe by listening to the actual voices of clients and therapists as they engage in the therapy process.
