This book invites psychotherapists in clinics and practices, whether in training or with extensive experience, to reflect on their own approach and modify and expand it based on their knowledge of psychological concepts and research. The aim is to enable therapists to offer their clients a better therapy experience. While it can sometimes be helpful to work with manageable models, it can also be meaningful to embed one's own actions within a comprehensive conceptual framework – reflective, self-caring, and client-focused.
 
Contents

• Fundamental Questions about Psychotherapy Conception
• Practical Problems and Approaches in Psychotherapy
• Basic Problems of Clients: What psychological aspects can psychotherapists pay attention to, and what (process) goals can they strive for?
