Part of the job of inducting someone into the role of being a good client is teaching them a little bit of patience, and teaching them how to work the process. At the same time, our clients are demanding answers and solutions, preferably in this session-if necessary they'll come back a second time, but that's about it.
So we have to find ways to live with that-to live with all this uncertainty, and all this mystery, and all this ambiguity. With that said, what the client brings to us in a session is so overwhelming and so full of content and feeling that we can't hold it. One thing we're clear about is that therapy does work, but there are just so many competing explanations for that. Generations of students and practitioners in counseling, psychology, social work, psychotherapy, marriage and family therapy, and human services have foundĬomfort, support, and renewed confidence in On Being a Therapist, and this sixth edition builds upon this solid foundation as it continues to educate, inform, and inspire helping professionals everywhere.I don't really have a lot of faith that we understand how therapy works.I don't really have a lot of faith that we understand how therapy works.
