Trusting in Psychotherapy

Description

"Cultivating trusting psychotherapy bonds is complex, challenging, and a critically important topic. In Trusting in Psychotherapy, the author posits that trusting cannot be understood apart from trustworthiness and that therapists should give equal attention to the task of becoming trustworthy to their patients. Blending developmental science and ethical thought, the author elucidates such topics as what it means to trust in the practice of psychotherapy; the many facets of trusting and trustworthiness; attachment relationships; the central role of hope in trust; and the ethical-moral basis of trusting and trustworthiness"-- Cover Half Title Title Copyright Dedicaiton Contents About the Author Foreword Preface Acknowledgments Introduction: The Scope of Trust in Psychotherapy 1 From Trusting Therapies to Trusting Therapists Evidence-Based Practice Common Factors and the Therapeutic Relationship Individualizing Psychotherapy What Happened to the Therapist?
