Description
Getting Started as a Therapist provides students and new therapists a bridge between education and practice. Written for a transtheoretical audience, the book explores questions and struggles common to students and new therapist supervisees. Readers can find pointed guidance in 52 chapters, spanning five categories. Categories include:
* Establishing better therapeutic relationships
* Increasing diagnostic accuracy, understanding why diagnosis is not a dirty word, and how it is critical to good outcomes
* What to avoid saying to patients
* Specialized topics like how to more effectively talk about self-injury and learning to use metaphors
* Professional development such as making the most of supervision and how to limit liability
The succinct chapters come alive with real-life examples and are often followed by suggestions for further reading and worksheets that help readers to refine their practice.
