'In 'The Therapeutic Encounter: a cross-modality approach' Bott and Howard have presented an interesting balance between theory and practice. Particularly engaging is their metaphor of the 'therapeutic dance' between therapist and client which leads to the enactment of 'the problem-saturated story' brought by the client. They devote separate chapters to six captivating examples from clinical practice, each with a particularly nuanced commentary fitting the case. An intriguing read, that will be of interest to trainees and practicing therapists alike' -
This book was not quite what I was expecting. It's exactly the sort of debate I would generate with my students.
Looking at the therapeutic relationship from differing perspectives is valuable.
An interesting read which embraces the therapeutic relationship across various counselling approaches.
A very good book for integrating theory to practice , a book which students will understand as they apply a theoretical perspective to their practice. Written with compassion,warmth and humour it puts the relationship at the heart of the therapeutic encounter .
We will be highly recommending this book to our students to read over the summer between year one and two of the Diploma.
Interesting, engaging and thought provoking throughout.
An accessible interdisciplinary approach.
A straightforward read, with some interesting nuances and variations on the standard integrative approaches to counselling. It will be of interest to those students who are unfamiliar with pluralistic methods and want a broad base from which to start their exploration
