Creating the Therapeutic Relationship in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice)

At the center of a good counseling and psychotherapy practice is the relationship between the therapist and the client. This book is an essential guide for counseling and psychotherapy students who want to explore the personal qualities and attitudes of the therapist, while also learning how to allow the client to engage in the therapeutic process with trust. The book considers how students of counseling can develop these qualities and enhance their awareness of their attitudes to enable them to be fully present and emotionally available in their encounters with clients.
