Impact Therapy - A Review

This book provides a wonderful addition to any therapist's personal library. In this book, Ed Jacob describes his therapy approach clearly, concisely, and thoroughly. Each concept or main idea of this therapy approach is carefully addressed and described. Many illustrations and examples are provided on how this particular therapy model can be put to work in multiple counseling settings and with multiple clients. The examples provided are excellent in that they take into account how Impact Therapy can be helpful in each many different situations and circumstances, including resistant clients, various client concerns and issues, and different cultural and age groups and how Impact therapy could be helpful in each particular situation. The book also reads easily thus making it an attractive resource for the beginning counselor. The experienced counselor can also find this resource helpful, in that this book also provides one with additional, creative ideas and interventions to add to his or her own "tool box." Certainly, as counselors, we are sometimes overwhelmed with new information and readings regarding developing models, theories, and ideas, however, this book is definitely a rich resource to include and make as a priority to add onto that "to-read" list.
