Developing the Therapeutic Relationship

In this unique book, master clinicians and psychotherapy researchers examine how technique and the therapeutic relationship are inseparably intertwined.

Using a variety of theoretical and research "lenses" and drawing on various models of psychotherapy, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive–behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and brief family therapy, the contributors discuss the factors affecting client outcomes.

Engaging case studies bring these processes to life by demonstrating how successful therapists negotiate the relationship and make key moment-to-moment decisions.
