Description

Psychotherapy Skills and Methods That Work (PDF Book)

by Clara E. Hill (Author)

While we know that psychotherapy works, there is hearty debate about what makes it work. In the past, rival arguments have maintained that psychotherapy proves effective because of the treatment approach, patient contributions, or the therapeutic relationship. According to a study published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology, titled “The Role of Clinical Skills in Effective Psychotherapy” by Clara E. Hill and John C. Norcross, clinical skills and methods also play a crucial role in the success of therapy. The study examined various therapeutic skills and methods used across theoretical orientations and found that they have major consequences for improving practice.

The book Psychotherapy Skills and Methods That Work is the result of a multiyear, interorganizational Task Force commissioned to identify, compile, and disseminate the research evidence and clinical practices on psychotherapist skills and methods mentioned in the study. The research reviews included in the book provide real-life examples and diversity considerations, along with training implications and bulleted therapeutic practices. The concluding chapter summarizes the research evidence for the effectiveness of these skills/methods and emphasizes implications for clinical training and practice, reinforcing the importance of clinical skills and methods in psychotherapy.

This comprehensive study not only demonstrates what therapists do to help clients change and live more effective lives, but it also serves as a go-to guide for psychotherapy practitioners of all persuasions and professions, as well as graduate students and psychotherapy researchers. The statistical analysis conducted on the effectiveness of different psychotherapy skills and methods makes the content more trustworthy and reinforces the argument made by the authors.
