  • A PREFERRED RELATIONSHIP 2021 PCQ copy
    A Preferred Relationship is a response to a paper by Cooper and Norcross, in the April 2021 issue of Therapy Today, which seems to put undue demands on the client’s understanding of the effects of methods and interventions while ignoring the importance of the relationship. Mike explores his own feelings around the therapy relationship and his fears that ‘even in offering client preferences, the therapist can hold a view of what might be best for t undermine the client’s power.
