Recent evidence has shown that the successful setting of goals brings about positive outcomes in psychological therapy. Goals help to focus and direct clients' and therapists' attention in therapeutic work. They also engender hope and help energise clients. No longer are clients victims of their circumstances, but through goal setting they become people who have the potential to act towards and achieve their desired futures. Through the discussing and setting of goals, clients develop a deeper insight into what it is that they really want in life: a crucial first step towards being able to get there.

Recent policies in both child and adult mental health services have supported the use of goals in therapy. However, the differing cultures, histories, psychologies, and philosophical assumptions of each form of therapy has brought about varying attitudes and approaches to goal setting.

Working with Goals in Counselling and Psychotherapy brings the attitudes of all the major therapeutic orientations together in one volume. With examples from cognitive behaviour therapy, psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, interpersonal therapy, and systemic therapy Working with Goals in Counselling and Psychotherapy truly is the definitive guide for therapists seeking to work with goals in any of the psychological therapies.
Industry Reviews
`This is the first and will for very many years be the best and most thoughtful volume presenting the goal oriented approach to psychotherapeutic counseling. It is a masterly compilation of excellent contributions to a subject which is arguably a key to the future success counseling. It is the product of the collaboration of two world leaders in this area and the outcome is a rich and rewarding practical guide to combining negotiated objectives with effective evidence based counseling methods. A superb cutting edge volume which should be on the shelf of every practicing counsellor.
