But in fact, some therapists are better than others, and that has implications for how we practice, how we train and supervise, and how we shape health care policy. Refreshingly, this book focuses on therapists rather than treatments. It is a must-read for all of us wanting to do the best by our clients.\u003c\/p\u003e - Hanna Levenson, PhD, Wright Institute, Berkeley, CA \u003cp\u003eProgram directors, policymakers, psychotherapists, and psychotherapy researchers will all find this book useful.

Synthesizing the rich literature on therapist effects in this comprehensive volume, they explore how various effects can help or hinder clients in therapy. They then propose practical strategies that mental health practitioners can use to improve their own effectiveness.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Castonguay, Hill, and their contributors first lay the empirical foundations for understanding therapist effects and why they are important. They also acknowledge the massive variability that exists among therapists and the complexities of studying therapist effects. Drawing from this fundamental knowledge, they then carefully examine specific therapist characteristics, attitudes, and skills that are relevant in any therapeutic setting. Topics include therapists amp rsquo  responsiveness, presence, attachment, and technical interventions  cultural factors  negative emotions  humor  and creativity. Exciting new studies about therapist effects in the treatment of specific disorders, including depression and generalized anxiety, are also presented. The closing chapters translate the book amp rsquo s general themes and takeaways into broader applications for research, intervention, training, and policy, including the role of routine outcome monitoring. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contributors\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLouis G.
