Practical with a wealth of examples, this text shows readers to how to be effective counsellors in each aspect of the counselling process.
The Professional Counselor is organised, first and foremost, around the process of counselling - from the first session through termination. Individual chapters look at assessment, at goal setting, at treatment planning, and, finally, at termination. One of the key features that sets this text apart from a standard counselling process text is that it also examines and presents interventions from theoretical perspectives such as Affective Interventions, Cognitive Interventions, Behavioral Interventions, and Systemic Interventions. As a result, interventions are presented not just as techniques, but they are rooted in theory and foundational therapeutic perspectives.
