Reviews

"Counselor/therapist trainees have many questions and concerns about what they could face in developing a therapeutic relationship with clients. Individual Counseling and Therapy is a resource that provides counselors and therapists with a touchstone on topics of basic and advanced counseling and therapy skills, such as addressing the difficult client and understanding diversity in the therapeutic relationship, and has a variety of content for the beginning and seasoned counselor and therapist. The impact of this book is the reminder of all that we do as a counselor/therapist."
Marty Jencius, PhD, associate professor, Counselor Education and Supervision Program, Kent State University"Counselors in training and veteran professionals will find value in this new edition by Chen and Giblin. The authors’ years of experience and their expertise allow them to create a text that is easy to read and comprehend but also leaves readers feeling supported and well-prepared to practice new skills with their clients. Readers also gain needed awareness of essential aspects of the counselor-client relationship that too often receive inadequate attention in many similar texts or in the classroom."
Suzanne Degges-White, PhD, LPC, NCC, professor and chair of the Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education, Northern Illinois University"An outstanding guide for those of us interested in learning or improving the craft of a therapeutic conversation. Chen and Giblin have put forth the most valuable information in a straightforward and comprehensive way. The book is easy to read, full of helpful advice, and covers a variety of topics in a rich, step-by-step way. It will be among my favorites. A classic gem for beginners as well as veterans of the profession."
Sara Schwarzbaum, LMFT, LCPC, co-author of Culture and Identity: Life Stories for Counselors and Therapists
