Relationship Rescue


$16.44


Famous for helping people "get real" about relationship (and many other) issues, Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., Oprah Winfrey contemporary and famed "Dr. Phil" of TV fame, as well as a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, explores ways that couples can turn their partnerships into success stories. An epiphany while counseling a dysfunctional couple led McGraw to rethink and revamp his counseling style and move away from conventional wisdom on couple therapy. Based on his observations of thousands of real couples (rather than his considerable book-learning), this program offers straight talk that will enable readers to take charge of their relationships, their futures, and their lives. McGraw offers a seven-step method for individual and joint self-exploration, learning together, and working toward the optimum relationship of which so many have dreamed. He offers plenty of hard work, including questionnaires, profiles, and surveys, before presenting a specific two-week curriculum for growing closer. Couples with a desire to restore their intimacy, or avoid losing it in the first place, will find a goldmine of help and information in this refreshing, no-nonsense guide.

In the past two decades, many psychodynamic therapists have begun to view the relational processes taking place between patient and therapist as a central source of transformation. Yet traditional paradigms of clinical supervision, focusing primarily on didactic teaching, have limitations for training therapists to work in these new ways. This groundbreaking volume is the first to elaborate a comprehensive contemporary model of supervision. Using a wealth of examples and vignettes, the authors show how working within the vicissitudes of the supervisory relationship can allow the supervisee to gain a deeper understanding of the treatment method being taught. Key topics discussed include issues of power and authority, regression in the supervisory relationship, rethinking the teach/treat question, parallel process as a relational phenomenon, working with group process in case conference, and the role of the organization in supporting training. This is a richly informative resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychoanalysts, and others involved in clinical supervision and training. It also will serve as a text for courses in supervision and organizational psychology.

Theology of Christian Counseling (Paperback)


Theology of Christian Counseling (Paperback)


$26.28


A Theology of Christian Counseling connects biblical doctrine with practical living. Salvation, that central concern of Protestant theology, is often too narrowly defined. It is thought of as “being saved from the consequences of sin.” But God is doing much more. He is making something new out of the old sinful nature. He is, in Christ, making new creatures.“No counseling system that is based on some other foundation can begin to offer what Christian counseling offers. . . . No matter what the problem is, no matter how greatly sin has abounded, the Christian counselor’s stance is struck by the far-more-abounding nature of the grace of Jesus Christ in redemption. What a difference this makes in counseling!”In this book the reader will gain an insight into the rich theological framework that supports and directs a biblical approach to counseling. And the connection between solid theology and practical application will become compelling. This book is one-of-a-kind.
