While there are many successful books describing the theories and research of clinical psychology, there is a gap in content, providing structured and simulations to rehearse critical skills, mental health professionals need in the field. Advanced Therapeutics, Clinical and Interpersonal Skills series aims to fill that gap. Authored and edited by leading experts, each volume in the series focuses on one subfield within mental health, providing concise and practical exercises for professionals. Each volume is based on an empirically based pedagogy that is structured, incremental, and tightly focused on the essential skills mental health professionals must acquire to obtain licensure/registration and enter the workforce.
Practical Exercises for Clinical Psychology, volume one in the series, focuses, on providing concise and practical exercises. These exercises include repairing alliance ruptures, motivating patients to address barriers to change, suicidal behavior strategies and establishing boundaries/ limits. Each of these exercises has been tested by leading experts and clinics in the field. This book is based on an empirically based pedagogy that is structured, incremental, and tightly focused on the essential skills clinicians must acquire to enter the workforce and successfully treat patients.
