This powerful book identifies what counselors or psychotherapists need in order to survive and thrive in what is undoubtedly an exciting and rewarding role but one that can at the same time be personally and professionally demanding and emotionally draining. Leading counselors and psychotherapists discuss the emotional, physical, social, and professional needs of people who work, or would like to work, in a therapeutic setting. They also examine how those needs can be best fulfilled within the rapidly changing context of counseling and psychotherapy today. Drawing on their own experience, views, research, and expertise, the contributors cover topics such as professional training, self development, evaluation, and competence, and aim to influence attitudes and practice by reinforcing trends and new directions. The contributors recognize, too, the very real common ground between counseling and psychotherapy, and attempt to bridge the gap between the two. Supportive, encouraging, and practical, this is an indispensable book for all those who are training to be or who are already practicing therapists.
