Getting Started as a Therapist

provides students and new therapists with a bridge between education and practice. Written for a transtheoretical audience, the book explores questions and struggles common to students and new therapist supervisees. Readers can find pointed guidance in 52 chapters, spanning five categories. Categories include:

Establishing better therapeutic relationships

What to avoid saying to patients

Increasing diagnostic accuracy, understanding why diagnosis is not a dirty word, and how it is critical to a good outcome

Specialized topics like how to more effectively talk about self-injury and learning to use metaphors

Professional development such as making the most of supervision and how to limit liability

The succinct chapters come alive with real-life examples and are often followed by suggestions for further reading and worksheets that help readers to refine their practice.
