"Empathy is fundamental to therapeutic change. This book teaches the clinical skills that therapists need to communicate empathy and help clients change. To empathize with clients, a therapist must understand how clients think-what meaning they give to difficult situations. Meaning systems largely depend on culture and other contextual factors. Thus, effective therapists possess not only strong observational, listening, and critical thinking skills, but also a framework for understanding others that includes knowledge of worldviews, meaning-making, culture, and change processes. This second edition features new case studies, research, and clinical applications, as well as a streamlined presentation that mirrors the process of mental health treatment. With extensive case material, reflection questions, and other practical tools, the book will help budding mental health practitioners understand and empathize with a diverse range of clients, develop strong therapeutic alliances, make accurate assessments that reflect clients' contexts and worldviews, and facilitate positive change"--

"Trauma represents a spiritual or religious violation for many people. Survivors attempt to make sense out of painful events, incorporating that meaning into their current worldview in either a harmful or a more helpful way. This volume helps mental health practitioners -- many of whom are less religious than their clients -- understand the important relationship between trauma and spirituality, and how to best help survivors create meaning out of their experiences. Drawing on relevant theories and research, the authors present a new conceptual framework, the Reciprocal Meaning-Making Model, demonstrating how it can guide both assessment and treatment. Through the use of case material, the authors examine a range of spiritual views, traumas, and posttraumatic reactions that are reflective of the population as a whole rather than targeting only specific religions or cultural perspectives. Given the lack of scientific literature on the topic, this book fills an important gap, and will appeal to clinicians and researchers alike"--Publicity materials.
