This book examines the training and supervision of
psychotherapists, with a focus on psychotherapy efficacy and key
issues facing psychotherapy training programs today. While some
therapists are more effective than others, good training and
supervision can provide all clinicians with the skills and tools to
become effective practitioners. Considerable research has shown the
broad efficacy of psychotherapy, but there are still many clients
who do not fully benefit from therapy, some who don't benefit at
all, and even some who get worse as a consequence of therapy. The
overall goal of training and supervision, and efforts to study
these practices, should be to enhance the current degree of
effectiveness that has been reached in psychotherapy. This book
offers innovative knowledge on how to better understand and improve
training by relying on the reflections, research discoveries, and
collaborative work of psychotherapy scholars who represent a
diversity of theoretical orientations, methodological expertise,
and levels of experience.
While we know that psychotherapy works, there is hearty debate
about what makes it work. In the past, rival arguments have
maintained that psychotherapy proves effective because of the
treatment approach, patient contributions, or the therapeutic
relationship. Psychotherapy Skills and Methods That Work argues
that clinical skills and methods also play a crucial role and that
what therapists do has major consequences for improving practice.
Psychotherapy Skills and Methods That Work is the result of a
multiyear, interorganizational Task Force commissioned to identify,
compile, and disseminate the research evidence and clinical
practices on psychotherapist skills and methods used across
theoretical orientations. Edited by renowned scholars Clara E. Hill
and John C. Norcross, this book provides original research reviews
on the effectiveness of 27 specific psychotherapy skills and
methods, including affirmation, self-disclosure, role induction,
between-session homework, empathic reflections, mindfulness and
acceptance, emotion regulation, and cognitive restructuring. Each
chapter on a therapy skill or method features clinical examples,
diversity considerations, training implications, and bulleted
therapeutic practices, while the final chapter summarizes the
research evidence for the effectiveness of these skills/methods and
emphasizes implications for clinical training and practice.
Forcefully demonstrating what therapists do to help clients change
and live more effective lives, Psychotherapy Skills and Methods
That Work will serve as a go-to guide for psychotherapy
practitioners of all persuasions and professions, as well as
graduate students and psychotherapy researchers.
In this fifth edition of her best‑selling textbook, Clara Hill
presents an updated model of essential helping skills for
undergraduate and first‑year graduate students. Hill’s model
consists of three stages—exploration, insight, and action—in
which helpers guide clients in exploring their thoughts and
feelings, discovering the origins and consequences of maladaptive
thoughts and behaviors, and acting on those discoveries to create
positive long‑term change.  This book synthesizes the
author’s extensive clinical and classroom experience into an
easy‑to‑read guide to the helping process. Aspiring helping
professionals will learn the theoretical principles behind the
three‑stage model and fundamental clinical skills for working
with diverse clients. Hill also challenges students to think
critically about the helping process, their own biases, and what
approach best aligns with their therapeutic skills and goals.
 New to this edition are: detailed guidelines for developing
and revising case conceptualizations, expanded coverage of cultural
awareness, updated case examples that reflect greater
diversity among clients and helpers, and additional strategies for
addressing therapeutic challenges.
The brief, practical texts in the Essentials of Qualitative Methods
series introduce social science and psychology researchers to key
approaches to capturing phenomena not easily measured
quantitatively, offering exciting, nimble opportunities to gather
in-depth qualitative data. In this volume, Clara E. Hill and Sarah
Knox describe consensual qualitative research (CQR), an inductive
method characterized by open-ended interview questions, small
samples, a reliance on words over numbers, the importance of
context, an integration of multiple viewpoints (for example, the
consensus of the research team and auditors), and a high emphasis
on rigor and replicability. CQR is especially well suited to
research that requires rich descriptions of inner experiences,
attitudes, and convictions, and is therefore widely used by
psychotherapy researchers. About the Essentials of Qualitative
Methods book series: Even for experienced researchers, selecting
and correctly applying the right method can be challenging. In this
groundbreaking series, leading experts in qualitative methods
provide clear, crisp, and comprehensive descriptions of their
approach, including its methodological integrity, and its benefits
and limitations. Each book includes numerous examples to enable
readers to quickly and thoroughly grasp how to leverage these
valuable methods.
Corrective experiences are events that challenge one's fear or
expectations and lead to new outcomes. They are often facilitated
by a skilled therapist as a breakthrough in the client's efforts to
engage in new behaviors, adopt more healthy ways of relating to
others, develop a more positive view of self, or feel previously
unacceptable feelings. As such, corrective experiences play a
central role in transformative processes fostered in different
forms of psychotherapy. Yet despite their playing such a crucial
role in therapy, there has been scant research and theoretical
attention devoted to the nature of corrective experiences, what
therapeutic mechanisms trigger them, or their consequences for
positive outcomes. Veteran psychotherapy scholars Louis Castonguay
and Clara Hill team up again for this comprehensive look at
corrective experiences across the main psychotherapeutic
approaches. Presented in two parts, this edited volume brings
together leading scholar- practitioners to map out the theoretical
bases of corrective experiences (Part I) and new research on
transformative events across various client perspectives, different
psychotherapeutic schools, and treatments for specific clinical
problems, such as generalized anxiety disorder and anorexia nervosa
(Part II). Written for the therapist as well as the clinical
researcher, Transformation in Psychotherapy provides conceptually
sophisticated and clinically rich perspectives of the process of
change that will appeal to scholars and graduate students
specializing in psychotherapy practice and research.
We all struggle to process our experiences, achievements, and
failures within the context of a meaningful life. Knowing how to
discuss meaning, and how to help patients find it, is a vital tool
for all mental health practitioners. The concept of meaning-in-life
(MIL) can help clients come to understand their lives as filled
with significance and purpose. In this groundbreaking book, author
Clara Hill analyzes various theoretical approaches to MIL, and
provides clear, practical guidance on how to incorporate MIL as a
construct and focus in therapy. Hill weighs decades of research on
MIL against her own recent work at the University of Maryland,
distinguishing MIL research from other similar constructs and
discussing the various sources of meaning that we all can find and
apply in our daily lives.
Working with dreams in therapy can help clients establish a focus
and reach core issues quickly, and can play an important clinical
role in both brief and long-term therapeutic relationships. This
accessible volume integrates the latest research on sleep and
dreaming with a cognitive-experiential psychotherapeutic
perspective, providing a comprehensive guide to dream
interpretation. In clear, jargon-free prose, elucidated by
extensive case material, the author presents a three-stage model of
dream interpretation based on the premises that dreams reflect
waking life, that their meaning is best understood in a
collaborative effort between client and therapist, and that both
cognitions and emotions are important in this process. An Appendix
contains a reproducible, self-guided manual on dream interpretation
featuring step-by-step instructions and worksheets. This Appendix
is an ideal resource for therapists to use with clients.
