Skills in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (Skills in Counselling & Psychotherapy Series)

By Susan Howard and Susan Howard

This practical text is the first to systematically address the competencies and techniques identified as central to the delivery of effective psychodynamic practice. It provides a framework for the therapist to develop their skills and apply them to their practice by:

Discussing the personal and professional growth which underpins a professional and ethical attitude to the therapist′s work Linking specific competencies to the theory base underpinning themDescribing competencies in a systematic wayIncluding a chapter on how to use supervisionUsing case material to illustrate competencies and dilemmas

Addressing not only how to implement skills, but why they are being implemented, this book is a must-read for all trainees on psychodynamic counseling and psychotherapy courses. It is also useful reading for trained practitioners who want an accessible introduction to psychodynamic skills in practice.
