Collaborative, Competency-Based Counseling and Therapy

Drawing from empirical research, clinical results, and their own experiences as counselors, Bertolino and O'Hanlon offer collaborative, competency-based ideas for counseling and therapy, while stressing the importance of respect. They discuss the context of change created through collaboration, the importance of attending and listening, the articulation of complaints and goals, changing views and actions, evaluating progress, and ending therapy.
