The Beginning Psychotherapist's Companion

The Beginning Psychotherapist's Companion provides guidance regarding topics essential to effective and ethical mental health practice, such as readers' emotions, well-being, and relationships. The reader is assisted in managing boundaries with regards to the psychotherapy session, communications between sessions, and the psychotherapist's online presence. Because psychotherapists are often the first to hear about the client's difficulties, the reader is educated about additional treatments that the client may need and is encouraged to assist the client with appropriate referrals. Behavioral health emergencies are also introduced.
