Therapist Performance Under Pressure

Therapists need to learn the basic therapeutic skills, practice them until they become second nature, and know how to use the skills under pressure. This book can help us hone our teaching of clinical intuition by learning about emotion regulation and other strategies that help us become better therapists. -- Clara E. Hill, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park

Such a daunting reality makes this book a necessity for therapists, irrespective of their level of experience and theoretical orientation. -- Louis G.
