Synopsis "Resilience-Centered Counseling: A Liberating Approach for Change and Wellbeing"
Resilience-Centered Counseling: A Liberating Approach for Change and Wellbeing provides readers with a therapeutic approach that is resilience-focused, strength-centered, and grounded in the cutting-edge principles of postmodernism, humanism, cybernetics, and neurobiology. The text recognizes that people are far more than the challenges they face and that counseling is a collaborative invitation to better oneself. The book reimagines how clinicians can work efficiently and pragmatically in assisting others while also becoming the heroes of their own lives. With an emphasis on evidence-informed practice, each chapter seeks to engage the reader in a new way of understanding the clinical encounter. Individual chapters explore the counselor as healer, interdependency, trauma, feminism, resilient counseling relationships, wonderment, building resilient communities, and more. Resilience-Centered Counseling helps those in the helping professions form authentic counseling relationships and join their clientele in seeking liberation from the weight of depression, anxiety, trauma, and fear. The book is an exemplary guide for courses in counseling theories, interventions, and psychotherapy at the master's and doctoral level.
