Description
"I know that I am doing therapy correctly and well, so why aren't some of my clients changing?" "Why do I feel anxious when I think about
my next session with that difficult client?" When psychotherapy stalls, it's time to try new ideas. The authors' experience with difficult
clients -- uncooperative, hostile, uncommitted to change -- gave them a new perspective on working with therapeutic impasses. Papers
describing Cognitive Appraisal Therapy have appeared in many books and journals, and now for the first time these ideas are compiled
into a single volume. Heavily influenced by the psychotherapy integration movement and in a radical departure from conventional cognitive-behavior
therapy, they see motivation in terms of affect and attachment rather than cognitive schemas, and resistance and setbacks as the result
of emotional setpoints. Practitioners from all corners of the psychotherapy landscape will be able to integrate Cognitive Appraisal Therapy
into their therapeutic approaches to help them work successfully and confidently with difficult clients as individuals, as couples and
in groups.
Audience
Clinical psychologists, counseling psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and mental health counselors.
