Overview
"Advanced Skills and Interventions in Therapeutic Counselling" is written for advanced students and professionals. It provides the reader with an understanding of the personality, and reviews fundamentals of the counselling process, such as the set up of the counselling room, attending behaviour, and advanced active listening skills. It gives the reader a means to assess clients so the direction of therapy is clear, and it provides illustrations for each general direction of the therapeutic process.
This book takes an integrated approach to therapeutic counseling, from personality theory, to applying that theory in assessing client problems, to the techniques to intervene. The counselling procedures presented allow the counselor to determine the origin of unwanted emotions and behaviors without psychodynamic interpretation and the interventions are designed to address cause for these concerns.
There is a cause for every unwanted emotion or reaction. This book is about understanding these causes and facilitating change.
