Getting Started as a Therapist provides students and new therapists with a bridge between education and practice. Written for a transtheoretical audience, the book explores questions and struggles common to students and new therapist supervisees. Readers can find pointed guidance in 52 chapters, spanning five categories. Categories include:
- Establishing better therapeutic relationships.
- What to avoid saying to patients.
- Increasing diagnostic accuracy, understanding why diagnosis is not a dirty word, and how it is critical to a good outcome.
- Specialized topics like how to more effectively talk about self-injury and learning to use metaphors.
- Professional development such as making the most of supervision and how to limit liability.
The succinct chapters come alive with real-life examples and are often followed by suggestions for further reading and worksheets that help readers to refine their practice.
