This book is a much needed guide to nurturing a therapeutic presence. The techniques described will help therapists engage more deeply with their clients on physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual and relational levels. These techniques will also help therapists and their clients deepen their relationships during therapy appointments. Shari M.

She then translates this knowledge into clinical skills and practices that therapists at all schools can use to nurture and develop a therapeutic presence
