Download or read book A Safe Place for Change revised 2nd edition written by Hugh Crago and published by Interactive Publications. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly recognised that the strength of the bond between counsellor and client is the best indicator of a good outcome for the client. The theoretical model employed by the counsellor matters less than the relationship the counsellor can build with each individual client. Yet first year counselling students continue to be taught about different models of therapy and specialised approaches supposedly needed by clients with different problems. The result is often confusion and uncertainty, and many ‘trained counsellors’ graduate without a solid grasp of how to form an authentic relationship with any client. Unlike most texts, A Safe Place for Change focuses squarely on the therapeutic relationship. Skills are presented in terms of their contribution to the relationship. Theories and models are referred to throughout, but the authors emphasise what the different approaches have in common, rather than the specialised terminology that often makes them seem more different than they actually are. The personal capacities and skills that distinguish a good counsellor or therapist are presented in the same order in which they would appear within the actual therapeutic relationship. The initial chapters teach ‘holding’ and ‘exploring’—skills that are almost automatically required in the first few sessions with a new client. Then follows a chapter that deals with the challenge to the counsellor–client relationship which often appears after the first two sessions, and shows counsellors how they can respond most usefully to that challenge. As the therapeutic relationship continues and deepens, it becomes possible to invite clients to consider how they might be contributing to their own problems—the skill of ‘gentle honesty’ or ‘encountering’. Finally, the authors introduce two different approaches to achieving change-- ‘solving the problem’ via advice, instruction, and homework, and ‘re-parenting the person’—something that is more likely to be crucial in long-term work with clients who present entrenched difficulties in living and relating. Well-written, insightful and accessible, this textbook speaks directly to students of counselling and psychotherapy, recognising their needs and their challenges. The authors’ real-world experience is evident throughout the book, as is their skill in teaching complex concepts in clear language.

Download or read book Therapist s Journey written by Robert Taibbi and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I wrote this volume as a guidebook to the clinical life wherever you are starting from. The goal is to help you feel a bit less overwhelmed or unsure how to start; to provide some basic but also some not-so-basic information so that you don't feel quite so disoriented on a bad day; to help you not only know how to handle those emergencies but also understand what is normal and common, so you are not fraught with anxiety and can professionally and emotionally hit the ground running so that your journey becomes the one you envisioned way back when. To do this you need to be proactive and take control of your life, go after what you want and need, and do what you have to do. In other words, the goal is to help you feel more grounded, help you see what you might overlook or need to appreciate, navigate the unexpected, look beyond this one day to imagine the many days to come. One of my goals is to create a reading environment that feels more like a conversation than presentation. To do that I've used a mix of pronouns throughout, an informal writing style, and included a number of clinical examples that are fictional and composite clients drawn from my experience. Finally, you'll find questions at the end of many chapters. These are invitations for you to reflect on your clinical skills, your career, the ways your values and personality may impact your work. I hope you'll pause and consider them"--
