Before You See Your First Client begins where courses, workshops, training seminars, and textbooks leave off, providing a candid behind-the-scenes look at the fields of therapy, counseling and human services. In a reader-friendly and accessible style, Dr. Howard Rosenthal offers his readers 55 useful and practical ideas for the implementation, improvement, and expansion of one's mental health practice. Based on the author's own personal experiences, the book is written in an intimate and personal style to which inexperienced and beginning therapists can easily relate.
I love to write books and produce audio programs and I think you'll love reading or listening to them. My style has been dubbed as "reader friendly" meaning you'll feel like we're sitting down for lunch having a conversation with each other. Or as my college students put it: "We know your books aren't ghost written Dr. Rosenthal. They are lively, humorous, and sound just like you in class."
I don't believe that education needs to be dry, dull, or boring and my materials go on to prove it. I receive e-mails also daily from counselors thanking me for helping them to secure the credentials they need to practice their craft. It's the greatest feeling in the world.
Several of my works allow you to step into the offices of the finest therapists in the world as they reveal the intricacies of their favorite counseling and therapy techniques, strategies, or homework assignments.
You can use my materials to help others by helping yourself. It's really that simple!
Have a great day.
Dr. Howard Rosenthal
