Jeffrey Kottler, Richard S Balkin

Myths, Misconceptions, and Invalid Assumptions of Counseling and Psychotherapy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

There are certain assumptions about the practice of counseling that are accepted as "truths," beliefs that are so pervasive that they remain unchallenged by almost all practitioners of all persuasions and approaches. In this book noted authors Jeffrey Kottler and Rick Balkin cover a wide range of myths, misconceptions, and assumptions that have remained unchallenged or that have little research to support their efficacy. From the so-called 50-minute hour to how talk therapy even works and why it is effective, the book will tackle long-held assumptions and train a critical eye on the field.
