Description
Doing Supportive Psychotherapy offers a fresh approach to understanding psychotherapy, moving away from formal and stilted dialogue between patient and therapist. This dynamic text provides essential building blocks for mental health professionals, applicable to any discipline and compatible with various types of psychotherapy.
The book draws on real-life case examples, illustrating a range of interactions from effective to seemingly ineffective, all with instructional value. The conversational dialogue between therapist and patient is realistic, sometimes eloquent, sometimes not, giving readers a true sense of the scope of the therapeutic interaction.
Grounded in psychotherapy literature and evidence-based research, this book emphasizes that therapy is an inexact science, therapists are human, and the process is constantly changing. It reassures readers with a supportive approach, providing a "holding environment" for learning psychotherapy.
