Description

What are the advantages and disadvantages of brief psychotherapy? Is it easy to start your own practice? Should only women counsel women? Questions such as these, and others contained in this volume, reflect many of the current concerns of both experienced and new therapists as they work or study in the field today. In Questions and Answers on Counseling in Action, leading experts provide clear and thoughtful answers to their concerns--which cover all aspects of psychotherapy--from theoretical issues to personal and ethical matters. Some questions have straightforward solutions. Others, however, are more provocative and less easily tackled. Either way, the contributors′ opinions will go a long way toward encouraging deeper thinking and promoting much needed-discussions about the daily problems facing professionals at all stages and of all disciplines. Topical and thought-provoking, Questions and Answers on Counseling in Action will provide a useful resource for all practitioners of psychotherapy.
