In today's rapidly changing health care environment, more is being
asked of therapists than ever before. Mental health practitioners
were once able to learn one particular approach, work only with
appropriate clients who actively sought therapy, and treat them for
however long it seemed necessary. Managed care has changed all
that. Professionals must be: ready to use a variety of approaches;
skilled in brief therapy techniques; prepared to deal with a range
of clients representing different classes and ethnicities; and
flexible enough to adapt to each particular case, including those
involving violence, abuse, and court-ordered clients. What is
required is a consistent ideology to frame the variety of ways of
doing therapy and an ability to draw what is best from each
approach. Bringing the seasoned professional up to date with the
tools needed to thrive in the field today and providing students
with a solid grounding in actual practice, this book explores new
ways to think about therapy and creatively apply them in practice.
Topics covered include: *Essential elements of effective therapy
*Dealing with a broad range of clients *Making the most out of a
training program *Adapting clinical approaches to specific
situations *The merits and disadvantages of live supervision *How
to recognize and build upon a therapist's unique skills * Selecting
a supervisor for training Written in clear, concise language and
enlivened by Haley's trademark wit, chapters are filled with case
examples and verbatim transcripts of therapy interviews that bring
the issues to life.
