"A fantastic accomplishment. Mick Cooper brings together a vast amount of material in a relevant and interesting way." -John McLeod, University of Abertay Dundee "Highly accessible, even for 'statisticophobes'. It is simple, without being simplistic, and brings quite complex concepts to a level that novices can grasp." -Maureen O'Hara, National University, La Jolla, California Are some therapies more effective than others? How important is the relationship? Which clients do best in therapy? Essential Research Findings in Counselling and Psychotherapy answers these questions and many more, providing trainees, students, practitioners and researchers with a comprehensive introduction to the latest findings in the field. Accessible even to those with no prior knowledge of research methods, this book sets out the evidence for the effectiveness of therapy in an entirely jargon-free way. Clearly laying out the factors associated with positive therapeutic outcomes, it gives suggestions for further reading, definitions of key terms, and questions for discussion. This is therefore an ideal text for anybody studying or training in counseling and psychotherapy. This book also gives practitioners the knowledge and confidence to justify their therapeutic work on empirical grounds, an increasingly important requirement. More than that, it makes research findings accessible and provides information on how to practice counseling and psychotherapy in an effective way. Essential Research Findings in Counselling and Psychotherapy does the hard work for you; it is vital reading for anyone who wants the facts, presented in a simple, clear, and engaging way.
