In this controversial book, psychologists Barry Duncan and Scott Miller, cofounders of the Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change, challenge the traditional focus on diagnosis, "silver bullet" techniques, and magic pills, exposing them as empirically bankrupt practices that only diminish the role of clients and hasten therapy's extinction. Instead, they advocate for the long-ignored but most crucial factor in therapeutic success-the innate resources of the client. Based on extensive clinical research and case studies, The Heroic Client not only shows how to harness the client's powers of regeneration to make therapy effective, but also how to enlist the client as a partner to make therapy accountable. The Heroic Client inspires therapists to boldly rewrite the drama of therapy, recast clients in their rightful role as heroes and heroines of the therapeutic stage, and legitimize their services to third-party payers without the compromises of the medical model.
Heroic Client is Honest
| Customer Rating: | | Enjoyed reading this book as it presents another perspective on treatment. I, too, espouse the theory of "practice based evidence" as opposed to "evidence based practice". I am a therapist in a community based program, and it is hard to do any innovative treatment, but this book as given me hope and incentive. I, too, believe "the answers lies within (the client)". I think medication is over-prescribed, and clients need to learn tools to access their own God-given strengths. |

Excellent source for counseling practices trying to measure successful outcomes in their work.
| Customer Rating:  | | I was searching for a book that would help me begin the process of assessing and measuring client outcomes in my counseling practice. It is a very useful book with very practical tools. Thank you!! |
Essential Info for any MFT
| Customer Rating: | | This book is not about learning a therapeutic technique, its about using simple tools in therapy (regardless of theoretical orientation) to help measure outcome - something MFTs need to know in order to provide good service to clients. I am a grad student and this has been some of the most valuable information I have learned thus far. |
Heroic Client Emphasizes Real Issues
| Customer Rating: | After being a counselor for over thirty years it is refreshing to see a scholarly book by authors who understand what is important in change, growth and healing. For far too long therapists and medicine have taken credit for the work done by the clients.
This book outlines important research and common sense reasons why we need to really listen to the client and his family to learn how to support what he is doing to be healthy. Anyone interested in helping people change can benefit from this newest volume from the people who get what counseling is all about. |
