Abstract:

Many textbooks teach the practice of counselling to new learners by relying on basic ideas generated before the 1970s and grafting more recent developments onto this foundation as optional modalities. David Pare avoids this trap. He does not assume that the world has not changed or that innovative ideas that demand attention are not constantly being produced. Neither does he dismiss the foundations of counselling laid a generation or two ago as irrelevant. Instead he weaves into them new emphases drawn from the most creative practices of recent decades and makes them relevant to students learning the basics of practice. Specifically, ideas drawn from the turn to meaning are placed alongside well-established traditions of counselling.

Summary

The Practice of Collaborative Counseling and Psychotherapy: Developing Skills in Culturally Mindful Helping is a comprehensive introduction to counseling and psychotherapy skills designed to teach future practitioners how to develop and foster collaborative relationships with their clients. Keeping power relations and cultural diversity at the forefront, Paré's text examines, step by step, the skills involved in collaborative therapeutic conversation--an approach that encourages a contextual view of clients and counteracts longstanding traditions of focusing primarily on individual pathology. Indeed, this insightful text teaches students how to keep clients at the heart of their therapy treatment by actively engaging them in the helping process. Guided by the notion of local knowledge, Paré acknowledges the resourcefulness of clients, showing how to capitalize on existing skills and abilities to construct useful change. This textbook reinvigorates the training of counselors and psychotherapists by drawing on a wide range of contemporary ideas and practices. The Instructor's teaching site include instructional videos which feature a diverse group of practitioners demonstrating the skills introduced in the text.
