On Becoming a Better Therapist by Barry L. Duncan Pdf

"This superb book should be an essential part of any graduate training program in clinical psychology. It describes the use of an empirically supported method for improving therapy practice that does not depend on theoretical point of view. Duncan shows how gathering feedback session-by-session helps therapists quickly get to the key issues, evaluate when things are not going well, and make changes to improve service. This is all complemented by Duncan's incredible capacity to demonstrate how to enlist clients and their resources in their own self-growth; Art C. Bohart" -- BOOK JACKETEmr.

How to Be a Better Child Therapist: An Integrative Model for Therapeutic Change by Kenneth Barish Pdf

An integrative approach for child therapists of all disciplines and at all levels of training and experience. How to Be a Better Child Therapist is an innovative contribution to the theory and practice of child therapy. Drawing on several decades of experience, Kenneth Barish presents a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to therapeutic work with children and families, based on a contemporary understanding of children’s emotions and emotional needs. This book offers a new theoretical integration, an in-depth discussion of the essential processes of child therapy, and a wealth of practical recommendations to help child therapists solve the varied problems presented to us in daily clinical work. Part 1 provides a theoretical foundation. Barish demonstrates how emotional and behavioral problems of childhood are most often caused by vicious cycles of painful emotions and pathogenic family interactions. Successful therapy arrests this malignant development and sets in motion positive cycles of healthy emotional and interpersonal experiences—increased confidence and engagement in life and more affirming interactions between parents and children. Over time, children and adolescents develop a less critical inner voice and more positive expectations for their future—a new sense of what is possible in their lives. Part 2 describes 10 principles that guide our efforts toward this overarching therapeutic goal. Barish offers advice on how we can improve all aspects of clinical work with children: How can we engage more children in treatment? Why is empathy essential to children’s emotional health and effective therapy? How do children learn to regulate their emotions? What is the role of play in contemporary child therapy? How can we combat a child’s discouragement and self-doubt? How can we overcome children’s resistance to talking about bad feelings? Part 3 presents a framework for therapeutic work with parents. Barish describes general principles for strengthening family relationships as well as practical plans for solving many common problems of their daily family life. He offers strategies for helping children who have difficulty with separations, doing homework, getting ready in the morning, or going to sleep at night; children with tantrums and uncooperativeness, rudeness and disrespect, sibling conflicts, and addiction to video games—problems for which parents, often urgently, ask our help. How to Be a Better Child Therapist is both inspiring and practical, essential reading for therapists of all theoretical orientations who work with children and families.

The Making of a Therapist by Louis Cozolino Pdf

A paperback edition of the classic guide for new therapists seeing clients for the first time. Veteran therapist and mental health writer Louis Cozolino’s classic text contains all of the things he wished someone had told him during the first weeks and months of his clinical training.

It also focuses on the inner experience of becoming a therapist and ways of thinking and feeling while sitting across from clients. It speaks honestly about not having all the answers, and shuttling up and down between your head and your heart, and mind and body, struggling clients sit before you. It balances the process of developing therapeutic skills while also taking an inner journey—to becoming the professional, and person, you hope to be. With a new introduction to the paperback edition, this book remains an essential clinical reference. A Test Bank is available for professors using the book as a course text.

I'm a Therapist, and My Patient is Going to be the Next School Shooter by Dr. Harper Pdf

"I'm a therapist, and I work with the most dangerous patients. I've seen it all... A boy who planned to be the next school shooter. A patient with OCD whose loved ones really did suffer every time he missed a ritual. A choir boy who claimed he was being molested -- not by a priest -- but by God Himself. A patient with PTSD who gave me nightmares. A husband and wife who accused each other of abuse, and only one of them was telling the truth. A woman who kept her ex locked up as a sex slave. A pedo-ring conspiracy theorist who was actually onto something. And how could I ever forget, Patient #220. The problem is, my patients have a habit of dying. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the common denominator. Or maybe that's just the cost of taking on exceptionally broken clients. Either way, I'll never stop trying to help."--Page 4 of cover.

On Becoming a Better Therapist by Barry L. Duncan Pdf

"On Becoming a Better Therapist redirects our attention from specific treatments to our behaviors and attitudes as therapists, offering a refreshing look at improving treatment that operates outside the contemporary solution of providing the "right psychological treatment for the right disorder." This book provides simple but elegant solutions for becoming a more effective therapist. In On Becoming a Better Therapist, Barry Duncan emphasizes the therapist and the therapist's contribution to patient well-being, extending the usual solutions provided in graduate education and challenging therapists in two important ways. The first requires therapists to systematically monitor their clients' treatment response and the therapeutic alliance (as rated by the client) and to discuss these phenomena with the client. The second challenge is for therapists to examine their effectiveness over time and use this information to become more effective. The discourse is on the one hand highly personal, anecdotal, passionate, and persuasive, and on the other, evidence-based. Barry Duncan is one of a handful of individuals advocating and implementing client progress information as an integral method of helping while learning from our patients. Duncan makes improving patient outcomes the private and primary business of therapists, rather than policymakers and researchers. In this persuasive book he shows therapists how they can empower themselves and change their identities from providers of brand-name treatments to effective providers"--Foreword.
