Thereby an extraordinary joy enters the work, for both parties, through this making of lives. Can there be better work to do in the world?\"--from the Epilogue by Leston Havens Managed care has radically reshaped health care in the United States, and private long-term psychotherapy is increasingly a thing of the past. The corporatization of mental health care often puts therapists in professional quandaries. How can they do the therapeutic work they were trained to do with clients whom they may barely know, whose care is intruded upon by managed care administrators? With unrelenting pressure to substitute medications for therapy and standardized behavior protocols for individualized approaches, what becomes of the therapist-client relationship? Unflinchingly honest, \u003ci\u003eThe Real World Guide to Psychotherapy Practice\u003c\/i\u003e offers both compelling stories and practical advice on maintaining one's therapeutic integrity in the managed care era. Resisting a one-size-fits-all approach, the authors focus on the principles of forming relationships with patients, and especially patients likely to be under-served (e.g., the uninsured poor) or difficult to treat. \u003ci\u003eThe Real World Guide to Psychotherapy Practice\u003c\/i\u003e gives voice to therapists' frustrations with the administrative constraints under which they work. But it accepts the reality and offers guidance and inspiration to committed therapists everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 x 9.57 x 6.47 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344392347955,"sku":"9780674003248","price":156.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/C9KFCAmqp99780674003248.webp?v=1778725378","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-real-world-guide-to-psychotherapy-practice-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
