Product reviews for Advanced Skills and Interventions in Therapeutic Counseling

As a practising clinician I was thrilled to read this book. It is refreshing to find a guide for therapy that starts at the very foundations of any therapy " with ethical guidelines, and listening skills " then logically and sequentially builds on these, through a detailed explanation of the model, to its applications. Gordon applies this approach, which sees clients as complex beings with internal struggles, from basic problems to the more difficult .Throughout, he gives clear step-by-step guidelines, with a multitude of clinical examples; at every step emphasizing the key tenets of this approach - respect, acceptance, negotiation, integration.

It illustrates great concepts for use intrapersonally first, and then maybe there is hope for use interpersonally and internationally!
