This book bridges the gap that currently exists between research and practice in counselling and psychotherapy by providing detailed clinical examples of the practical relevance of research. It brings together contributions from leading British and American psychotherapy researchers, who describe their research programmes and spell out the practical applications for therapy of that programme's results. They explore how their findings can substantially inform therapeutic practice, and assess their immediate relevance for practitioners. Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy calls for the close integration of research, skills training and supervised clinical practice on training courses.
