Integrating Theory With Clinical Practice

 NEW TO THIS EDITION:

• Expansion of detailed case examples and skill-building exercises help instructors provide their students with a richer, more valuable learning experience.
• A streamlined organizational structure allows readers to easily switch back and forth between research chapters and clinical chapters.
• Expanded discussions of each domain of human complexity allow students to become flexible thinkers who can incorporate the knowledge of their client’s unique backgrounds into their conceptualizations and treatment plans.
• Evidence-based practice integrated throughout the text supports student comprehension of literature on clinical work and treatment.

• Stimulating client interviews provide students context to gather real-world perspectives for formulating conceptualizations.
• Coverage of seven knowledge bases of clinical work include psychological theory; trauma-informed care; human complexity; intersectionality of oppressions; self-reflection on personal values, strengths, and weaknesses; evidence-based treatment strategies; and effective writing.
• Integration of theory and practice helps readers develop an understanding of how to think about clients in an in-depth and flexible manner.
• A variety of theoretical models are included so that students can challenge themselves to think critically about cases using behavioral, cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, feminist, emotion-focused, dynamic, family systems, cultural, constructivist, and transtheoretical perspectives.
