What is the purpose in working with the client? What are the main problems or concerns we need to explore? Who else is involved and what are their expectations? The task of working with a client in order to bring about therapeutic change involves a constant stream of decisions. But how exactly do you decide? What influences your choices and how can you be sure that you are making the right ones? Professional training provides guidelines. However, the evidence suggests that in practice, decision-making is a complex task and our decisions are not always as accurate as we assume. This book examines some of the factors that are involved in making good decisions, the range of thinking skills we need in order to make effective choices and some of the factors that can prevent us from making sound decisions in our work with clients. Drawing on both the existing literature and a range of practical exercises, Making Successful Decisions in Counselling and Psychotherapy provides invaluable guidance on how to tackle the task of decision-making in 'real world' counselling and psychotherapeutic settings in order to develop a systematic, effective and creative approach.
