Description

This practical guide presents an innovative framework for tailoring cognitive-behavioral interventions to each client's needs. With step-by-step guidance and sample dialogues, therapists can learn how to collaborate with clients to develop and test conceptualizations that illuminate personal strengths as well as problems.

The approach emphasizes building resilience and coping while decreasing psychological distress. The book includes self-assessment checklists and learning exercises to help therapists build their conceptualization skills through a three-stage process. An extended case illustration demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach in therapy with a multiproblem client.
