<p>Wayne Perry has been a therapist for more than thirty years, but he still hears the same thing from beginning counselors and therapists: Yes, I know what the theory says, but what do I do with this particular client?<p> <p>Drawing on his decades of experience training marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, and pastoral counselors, he answers that question in the updated edition of his landmark book: Basic Counseling Techniques.<p> <p>He provides practical suggestions for setting up the therapy room, using audiovisual recording equipment, and conducting those first critical interviews. You'll learn how to:<p> <ul> <li>apply nine different sets of clinical tools; <li>select the appropriate tool for the appropriate clinical situation; and <li>improve how you carry out the clinical thinking process. </ul> <p>Each chapter concludes with a "Living into the Lesson" section that allows you to participate in experiential exercises to master what you've learned.</p> <p>While designed for counselors and therapists in the beginning of their careers, even veterans in the field will find value in this updated edition.</p>
