Art and Science of Assessment in Psychotherapy

The Art and Science of Assessment in Psychotherapy focuses on a key professional issue. Twelve distinguished practitioners representing widely used therapeutic approaches describe the methods they use in their assessments and the uses and limitations of the therapies they offer. These include: * psychoanalytic psychotherapy * in-patient psychotherapy * family therapy * group psychotherapy * psychodrama * cognitive-behaviour therapy * couples therapy * focal therapy Additional chapters look at assessment in the light of research, question how far assessment can be separated from treatment and examine the role of questionnaires and special tests in relation to interviews. The first book to look at assessment from a wide perspective, The Art and Science of Assessment in Psychotherapy will be a useful source of reference for all practising psychotherapists and counsellors.Mace, Chris is the author of 'Art and Science of Assessment in Psychotherapy' with ISBN 9780415105392 and ISBN 0415105390.
