The Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner - (PracticePlanners) 6th Edition (Paperback)

About the Book

"Work cooperatively with the therapist toward agreed-upon therapeutic goals while being as open and honest as comfort and trust allow.Establish rapport with the client toward building a strong therapeutic alliance; convey caring, support, warmth, and empathy; provide nonjudgmental support and develop a level of trust with the client toward feeling safe to discuss academic issues and their impact on the client's life. Strengthen powerful relationship factors within the therapy process and foster the therapy alliance through paying special attention to these empirically supported factors: work collaboratively with the client in the treatment process; reach agreement on the goals and expectations of therapy; demonstrate consistent empathy toward the client's feelings and struggles; verbalize positive regard toward and affirmation of the client; and collect and deliver client feedback as to the client's perception of his/her/their progress in therapy (see Psychotherapy Relationships That Work: Vol. 1 by Norcross and Lambert and Vol. 2 by Norcross and Wampold)"--
