Routledge Adaptable Interventions for Counseling Concerns: A Step-by-Step Clinical Workbook

Adaptable Interventions for Counseling Concerns is filled with more than 40 interventions appropriate for new and experienced professionals alike. The interventions are organized in a unique yet practical manner, including options for individual reader creativity and personal adaptations within the text itself. The book’s uniqueness lies in the broad coverage of common concerns, formatting, and ease in navigation. Each chapter is devoted to a specific client concern, with seven suggested intervention strategies clearly labeled by modality to make it easy for readers to find new interventions best suited to their practice. Chapters also introduce relevant and recent research on client concerns, contextualizing the circumstances for which a counseling professional could apply the chosen interventions. Intervention sections also include space for individualized notes and reader personalization. Review "Woolnough and Chilcote tackle one of the biggest challenges in counseling: translating theory into practice. Ranging from techniques that engage the client expressively through art and movement to cognitive change, Adaptable Interventions for Counseling Concerns fulfills its promise to make varied methods adaptable to every clinician and clinical setting. Therapists will find interventions that move clients toward deeper insight as well as cognitive and behavioral change."

What stands out is not just the careful and thorough description of a range of interventions but also the focus on adaptability. It is obvious that the authors are speaking from experience and intent on providing a practical guide and ideas book that will be used over and over again. I highly recommend it."
