Principles of Counseling and Psychotherapy: Learning the Essential Domains and Nonlinear Thinking of Master Practitioners

Principles of Counseling and Psychotherapy, 3rd edition, helps students in introductory counseling courses prepare for practice with real clients by learning to think in a new way, rather than simply learning and using a set of steps. Chapters are infused with real-world clinical case examples and opportunities for readers to apply the material to the cases being presented. New sections focused on the use of mental models, theory of mind, and concrete strategies for intervention are specifically designed to engage the reader's natural non-linear thinking, and transcript material both from cases and from master therapists themselves are interwoven throughout the text.
