Annotation: The books in this series represent the four key areas or theoretical constructs counselors use when working with clients: Solution Focused, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Person-Centered.

This resource provides counselors a practical guide to learning to think and then ACT like an expert counselor. The author focuses upon the development of the skills employed by behavioral counselors as they process client data, develop case conceptualizations, and then formulate and implement specific treatment plans.

Thinking and Acting Like a Behavioral Counselor provides extensive case illustrations and guided practice exercises to move the reader from simply 'knowing' to 'doing' and is ideal for training new and less experienced counselors in what to say, how to say it, and why to say it.
