Psychoth. Relationsh. Work

Edited by John C. Norcross, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Scranton.

"An intriguing issue that has fascinated therapy researchers and practicing clinicians alike has been the question of how therapy works. Acknowledging the findings that therapy techniques do indeed contribute to the change process, this empirically based volume convincingly documents the very important role that the therapy relationships play as well. It is a timely and comprehensive contribution that is relevant for both clinicians and researchers."--Marvin R. Goldfried, Ph.D., President, Society of Clinical Psychology (APA Division 12) and Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University"This excellent resource is a treasure! Norcross' second edition of Psychotherapy Relationships That Work is the gold standard in providing current evidence on how the psychotherapist client/patient relationship promotes change. Educators, clinical researchers and practitioners will be informed, inspired and moved by an immersion into the evidenced based understanding of the change process."--Melba Vasquez, Ph.D., ABPP, Independent Practice, Austin, Texas and APA President, 2011 "John Norcross and his contributors have created a stunningly valuable resource for researchers and clinicians alike. This landmark second edition transcends theoretical orientation, client population, treatment format, and clinical severity. Clinicians in particular will find the 'therapeutic practices' section of each chapter to be thought-provoking and immediately applicable. Truly, evidence-based responsiveness works."--Carol D. Goodheart, Ed.D., Past President, American Psychological Association"This thoroughly revised book directs us to what relationships work in psychotherapy and to effective ways of tailoring the relationship to the unique needs of individual clients. Dr. Norcross and contributors have compiled a most useful resource for practitioners and students."--Gerald Corey, Ed.D., ABPP, Professor Emeritus of Human Services and Counseling,
