Thinking Like a Therapist 100 Minutes of Clinical Lessons - 2 Disk Set

Sit back, relax, and think along with Susan Lukas about the many questions that you need to ask about yourself and your client before, during, and after an interview. First, how do you make sense and use of whatever information you have available before you meet your client? Then, eavesdropping on an interview that illuminates tough questions about both clinical material and the role of the therapist, ask yourself: What are you doing while the client is talking? How do you present yourself in a way that is both professional and empathic? What are you listening for? When should you talk and why? And after an interview is over: How do you organize your findings? How do you decide what is important? What do you share to guarantee that the client will get the proper treatment? To enhance the lessons of the bestselling mental health book Where to Start and What to Ask, this audio CD provides an opportunity to listen to an experienced therapist think aloud. These mental exercises will not only improve clinical skills but also increase confidence and self-awareness.
