A Process-Based Approach to Psychotherapy: Principles for Practice provides a practical foundation for clinicians who are interested in learning how to deliver process-based therapy (PBT): an approach to psychological assessment and treatment centered on processes of change in particular people in their unique context. The book teaches readers how to, within a process-based model, develop a functional case conceptualization, assess client progress throughout treatment, and plan and adjust treatment in response to how a client is doing. Avoiding in-depth discussion of theoretical concepts, the authors instead provide practical principles and actionable steps for doing PBT, including case examples and exercises to facilitate a structured learning experience. Readers will come away with fundamental understanding of PBT that will allow them to immediately begin incorporating the model into their own practice.
