"Counselor/therapist trainees have many questions and concerns
about what they could face in developing a therapeutic relationship
with clients. Individual Counseling and Therapy is a resource that
provides counselors and therapists with a touchstone on topics of
basic and advanced counseling and therapy skills, such as
addressing the difficult client and understanding diversity in the
therapeutic relationship, and has a variety of content for the
beginning and seasoned counselor and therapist. The impact of this
book is the reminder of all that we do as a
counselor/therapist."
Marty Jencius, PhD, associate professor, Counselor Education and
Supervision Program, Kent State University"Counselors in training
and veteran professionals will find value in this new edition by
Chen and Giblin. The authors’ years of experience and their
expertise allow them to create a text that is easy to read and
comprehend but also leaves readers feeling supported and
well-prepared to practice new skills with their clients. Readers
also gain needed awareness of essential aspects of the
counselor-client relationship that too often receive inadequate
attention in many similar texts or in the classroom."
Suzanne Degges-White, PhD, LPC, NCC, professor and chair of the
Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education, Northern
Illinois University"An outstanding guide for those of us interested
in learning or improving the craft of a therapeutic conversation.
Chen and Giblin have put forth the most valuable information in a
straightforward and comprehensive way. The book is easy to read,
full of helpful advice, and covers a variety of topics in a rich,
step-by-step way. It will be among my favorites. A classic gem for
beginners as well as veterans of the profession."
