A Psychologist’s Casebook
Cases from Practice Used to Support Teaching Mental Health Practitioners
About this book
Drawing on examples from clinical practice, this book presents evidence?based psychological principles in an applied context to support effective practice in the helping professions.
This book takes a narrative approach, presenting a collection of individual cases to complement the traditionally theory?heavy education and training of mental health professionals. It demonstrates easy to learn, practical skills found invaluable in supporting and treating a broad range of clients, from pre?verbal children to the elderly. The case examples are designed to encourage and motivate a more comprehensive understanding of general psychological terms, which is further supported by callouts, reflection prompts, and extension exercises. Rich with examples from the authors' many years of clinical psychology practice and graduate teaching, this book is written for students and practitioners alike.
