Full Description
Acclaimed for its practical guidance and candid, personal style, this instructive book is now in a revised and updated second edition. Karen J. Maroda explores the vital role of emotion processing in the therapeutic relationship and presents ways that therapists can work with emotions--both their own and the client's--to make treatment more effective. The book discusses how to become more attuned to one's own experience of a client, use direct feedback and self-disclosure constructively, and manage intense feelings and conflict in the relationship. Specific techniques are illustrated with vivid case material, including examples of both successful and unsuccessful interventions.
