Description
The best health practices are a synthesis of science and art. Surgery is a case in point. Although all competent surgeons follow scientific
protocols, the best surgeons are masters of the art of surgery and produce better outcomes: e.g., smaller incisions; lower mortality
rates. Psychotherapists are in exactly the same position. Psychotherapy is both a science and an art. There are excellent resources that
convey information about empirically supported practices – the science of psychotherapy. However, this scientific information is incomplete
in two important ways. It does not cover key matters that come up in psychotherapy (e.g., building a therapeutic relationship, resistance,
termination), and it often does not fully cover the "art" of implementing these techniques, the nuances, the creative ways, the problem
solving strategies when difficulties arise. This book is an attempt to have high profile, expert, "master" therapists discuss the art
of handling these key issues.
Audience
This book will be useful both as a basic text for all mental health professions and useful to practitioners as this book covers the key
difficulties that practicing clinicians face every day in their practices.
