About Bonita California, United States
From the rear cover
This revised edition of The Heroic Client presents the latest empirical findings about what works in therapy-featuring the revolutionary increase in effectiveness achieved via client-based outcome feedback. Translating this research into pragmatic steps to enhance the benefit of any model of therapy, The Heroic Client calls for nothing less than a paradigm shift-a shift that not only improves outcome one client at a time but also assigns those we serve key roles in determining the way therapy is both delivered and funded.
"The Heroic Client calls into question the purity of therapy models . . . a timely and inspiring volume-itself, a heroic provocation to the mental health profession."
-Sheila McNamee, professor of communication, University of New Hampshire; author, Relational Responsibility, and editor, Therapy as Social Construction
"Warning: If you're addicted to long letters of appreciation touting your clinical prowess, this book will be hazardous to your mental health. It will show you how to harness your clients' expertise and make therapy a more collaborative, outcome-oriented experience."
-Michele Weiner-Davis, author, Divorce Busting
"The Heroic Client inspires us to re-remember why we became therapists in the first place."
-Stephen Madigan, director of training, Toronto Narrative Therapy Project, and managing editor, www.planet-therapy.com
"This is must reading for graduate students and novice therapists who are entering the field, and thought-provoking and stimulating reading for seasoned professionals."
-Michael J. Lambert, professor of psychology, Brigham Young University, and coauthor of the Outcome Questionnaire and Assessing Outcome in Clinical Practice
