"""This is the most amazing introduction to psychotherapy I have ever seen. It is clear and highly creative. It makes reading just delightful. It introduces the beginning therapist to the dilemmas of clients, and then it teaches therapists HOW TO THINK NONLINEARLY so that they can induce client change. It's a strategy for getting clients unstuck. Peluso aptly suggests, along with Archimedes, that with the right lever it is possible to move the world. But then, in a startling way, Peluso teaches the therapist where to put that mighty lever. What an incredibly useful book. Every therapist should read this book and master its contents. I know that I will."" John M. Gottman, PhD, author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work ""With the foundation of counseling and psychotherapy firmly in hand, Advanced Principles of Counseling and Psychotherapy provides thoughtful guidance and critique on what truly contributes to effective counseling, practice, and mastery. The author grounds the reader in nonlinear thinking and enables the clinician to examine evidence-based outcomes that lead to productive counseling and client change. This is an essential text for the counseling professional seeking advanced ideas and wisdom to practice."" Richard S. Balkin, professor and interim department chair of the Department of Leadership and Counselor Education at the University of Mississippi."
