Compassionate Therapy:Working with Difficult Clients
How does a therapist handle a manipulative or controlling client? How can one overcome intense hostility in an uncooperative client? Arguing that therapeutic conflict can be a constructive force, this book shows how therapists can use the struggle to examine their own abilities, deepen their compassion and develop flexibility. (260 pp.)
Calling Clients Names
The Language of Tears
Offers insightful answers to such questions as: Why do we cry? How do men and women’s tears differ? How are tears interpreted in different cultures? When is crying therapeutic and when does it become self destructive? Tears are valuable as an opportunity for communication, intimacy, change and enlightenment. (292 pages)
How Can Therapists Do Such Different Things and Still Get Similar Results?
Clients have definite ideas about what they want in their helpers, even if they do not know what they want in their lives. (59 pp.)
The Struggle to Find Things Therapists Can Agree On
It is the nature of our species to be territorial, to stake out our boundaries of private space with fences and other demarcations of ownership. This is true not only with our land, but with our ideas. (52 pp.)
Examining the Variables that are Common to Most Therapies
The prevailing movement in the field today is toward reconciling the differences between diverse approaches and finding their common factors. (63 pp.)
What the Best Therapists are Like as People
There are factors that transcend the theoretical basis of the various approaches and are found in the personality of the successful practitioner. These are qualities that constitute the essence of most effective therapists, wherever they work or however they prefer to operate. (65 pp.)
How Therapists Perceive, Think, Sense, and Process Their Experiences
Professionals who are good at helping people resolve their difficulties are able to think in a multidimensional mode that transcends disciplinary boundaries. They stretch beyond conventional reasoning in ways that allow them to discover patterns, apply their skills and knowledge, and perceive things that are invisible to all but the enlightened. (78 pp.)
What Therapists Actually Do with Clients That Makes a Difference
Competence in therapy can be assessed according to the degree of mastery the professional has reached in each of the following clinical skill areas: selecting suitable clients, role induction, relationship building, interviewing, linguistic coaching, interpreting, confronting, handling resistance, focusing, questioning, problem solving, setting limits, self-disclosure, and dealing with endings.
