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.
