The Heart & Soul of Change: Delivering What Works in Therapy

The Second Edition of The Heart & Soul of Change: Delivering What Works in Therapy, analyzes the most recent research on what works in therapeutic practice and provides practical guidance on how a therapist can accurately 'deliver what works in therapy.' This edition has the same pragmatic focus as the first edition but with a larger breadth of coverage and new chapters on both youth psychotherapy and substance abuse treatment. The guiding principle is recognition that psychotherapy is implemented one person at a time, on the basis of that unique individual's perception of the progress and fit on the therapy and therapist.

The text examines the common factors underlying effective psychotherapy and bring the psychotherapist and the client-therapist relationship into focus as key determinants of psychotherapy out come. This new edition also demonstrates that systematic client feedback improves effectiveness and efficiency and legitimizes psychotherapy services to third-party payers. Clinicians reading this volume will improve their understanding of what is truly therapeutic in the diverse forms of psychotherapy practiced today.
