"The fourth edition of Individual Counseling and Therapy: Skills and Techniques decodes the nuances of therapeutic language and helps students develop their communication skills. Lucidly written and engaging, the text integrates theory and practice with richly illustrated, real-life case examples and therapeutic dialogues that demystify the counseling process. The therapeutic skills and techniques delineated here will build students skillsets and boost their confidence throughout the counseling process-from intake to problem exploration, awareness raising, problem resolution, and finally to termination. Students will delight in the text's depth, insights, genuineness, and accessibility as they develop and hone their therapeutic voice for clinical practice. PowerPoints, chapter test questions, and an instructor's manual are available to instructors on the Routledge website"-- Provided by publisher.
