Description

Wayne Perry has been a therapist for more than forty-five years, but he still hears the same thing from beginning counselors and therapists: Yes, I know what the theory says, but what do I do with this particular client?

Drawing on his decades of experience training marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, and pastoral counselors, he answers that question in the updated edition of his landmark book: Basic Counseling Techniques.

He provides practical suggestions for setting up the therapy room, using audiovisual recording equipment, and conducting those first critical interviews. You’ll learn how to:

apply nine different sets of clinical tools;

select the appropriate tool for the appropriate clinical situation; and

improve how you carry out the clinical thinking process.

Each chapter concludes with a “Living into the Lesson” section that allows you to participate in experiential exercises to master what you’ve learned.

While designed for counselors and therapists in the beginning of their careers, even veterans in the field will find value in this updated edition.

Acknowledgments
In the years since the first edition of Basic Counseling Techniques was initially published, I have been very gratified by the response. Several universities, in addition to my own, are using this as a textbook for their students. Other readers evidently purchase it because they simply want to learn. I regularly receive emails from those who have purchased the text testifying to how helpful it has been. I have also received suggestions from colleagues and students on things I could do “better.” That has been the impetus behind this third edition and I want to publicly acknowledge and thank all of those who have taken their valuable time to provide me feedback, both the “onions” and the “bouq uets.”
I also want to thank my wife for her careful proof-reading of this text. Her careful attention to even the most minute details was invaluable in producing the ﬁnal edition. Others who have been especially helpful include Dr. Christopher Perry, Dr. Lisa Kelledy, and Dr. Sheila Beaty. I could not have done this without their ad vice.
Finally, as I did in the ﬁrst edition, I want to think God for giving me the high privilege of being a therapist. As a Christian saint from the Middle Ages, Anthony of Padua, once said, “I bandaged his wounds. God healed him.” For more than 40 years I have read the research and taken courses in an attempt to learn how to bandage emotional wounds more skillfully, more appropriately, more effectively. I am good at what a do. As Walter Brennan said in the movie, Will Penny , “No brag. Just fact.” The real joy for me now is that I can share some of that hard-won wisdom with beginning therapists. Thank you, my readers, for allowing me to become, in a small way, part of the emotional healing you are doing with those who seek your help.

Foreword
I did not set out to write a textbook of counseling and therapy techniques. My original purpose was to ﬁnd a textbook I could use for a class I would be teaching beginning master’s level students. What I found, to my surprise, is that I could ﬁnd no suitable book. There are many books of theories, and many books that address important issues that this one does not. This text aims to ﬁll in the gaps left by those other texts, to supplement them and not to replace them. Speciﬁcally, the purpose of this text is to give the beginning therapy or counseling student the nuts-and-bolts of how to actually apply some of the major theories. I assume that in other courses the student will study theories of therapy in depth to gain a more complete understanding, and I assume the student will take a practicum or internship to learn how to actually do therapy. No book, including this one, can teach someone how to counsel. You learn therapy by doing therapy under the careful guidance of a skilled superv isor.
I do want to express my gratitude to my clients over the last forty (plus) years. They have taught me so much. All of the case material in this text is drawn from my clinical experience with these wonderful people. Their actions do not necessarily reﬂect this author’s position on moral issues, but they do reﬂect the reality of therapy as I have experienced it. Some of the “clients” in this text are actual people. Others are composites of several real people. In all cases, enough of the facts are altered so that the client’s conﬁdentiality is protected. If you, the reader, think you recognize one of these clients, chalk that up to the universality of human experience and know that you cannot possibly identify who these real people are. Please do read these cases carefully to get a “feel” of the client and the client’s situation. Use your imagination to put yourself in the client’s shoes. This is a skill which will not only help you get the most out of this text, it will also serve you well
