Summary:

"This new edition of Clinical Manual of Supportive Psychotherapy continues to fill a significant gap in the otherwise plentiful literature on psychotherapy. It is addressed to a wide audience, including residents in psychiatry and nonpsychiatric physicians, as well as more experienced psychiatrists and psychotherapists who would like a comprehensive guide to the specific modality of supportive psychotherapy. This is the type of therapy most often prescribed for persons in crisis or with chronic mental or physical illness, but it has wider applicability. For this edition, the authors have updated the literature and provided new chapters on co-occurring disorders; special considerations for therapy with residential populations (including detention and corrections) and with intellectually disabled patients, and guidance on supportive psychotherapy in community settings. The book ends with a discussion of ethics, broadened to reference organizational ethics in psychology and counseling, and augmented with guidance on cultural and religious sensitivity"-- Provided by publisher.
