The therapeutic relationship is at the core of counselling training and practice, regardless of therapeutic approach. This book usefully introduces a cross-modality approach to the therapist-client encounter, drawing together aspectsfrom integrative, psychodynamic and humanistic approaches to create a 'meta-model' for practice. Each chapter introduces a typical client 'dilemma' - i.e.,resistance, deception, being too eager to please - and enacts the 'story' of the client step-by-step. The authors show how you, as therapist, can interact with the client's dilemma, inviting you to directly engage in the drama. In this way they provide a coherent framework within which to understand the relationship and the principles of their approach. This book is highly recommended for any postgraduate Counselling & Psychotherapy trainee, whatever your therapeutic modality. It is a must-read for those studying Psychotherapeutic Counselling, with each chapter mapped onto real teaching and trainee concerns.
