“Right on target. Innovative, nothing comes near it in occupational therapy. A sophisticated meld of occupational therapy and psychology. It is very innovative for occupational therapy and other fields. I am thoroughly impressed.”“I have found no occupational therapy book more interesting to me than this one. I always have to go outside of the field to find such rich and interesting material.”—Sharan Schwartzberg, EdD, OTR, FAOTA,Tufts University, Boston, MassachusettsThis groundbreaking new book addresses a critical aspect of the occupational therapy practice—the art and science of building effective, fulfilling relationships with clients.A distinguished clinician and educator, Renee Taylor, PhD, uses a new conceptual practice model, the Intentional Relationship Model, to define how the client and the therapist each contribute to the unique interpersonal dynamic that becomes the therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes how therapists must act deliberately, thoughtfully, and with vigilant anticipation of the challenges and breakthroughs that have the potential to influence the course of the relationship. Actual case examples from 12 exceptional clinicians from around the world illustrate how this model is used to address many of the challenging interpersonal situations that commonly occur in therapy. And, guided exercises and assignments help readers master the skills they need and apply them to a wide range of clinical situations and presenting problems.

After 30 years "in the business", I rejoice in finding material that is beyond theoretical. This book is grounded in research AND it offers applications in every chapter to help a practitioner in any therapeutic profession enlarge their repetoire of interactive technique. I see it as a great tool to use with interns and of value to experienced therapists who want to challenge themselves to be able to do more.

Great descriptions and techniques for describing therapeutic rapport. It helps students look at specific ways to evaluate and improve techniques for relationships by making a subjective experience more objective. As a clinical instructor, I assign readings to students in the first few weeks of internship and they have found it very insightful!

I was preparing for a performance review at work and read a good portion of this book, and took the self assessment on personal strengths and areas of growth. I've found this very helpful with developing my therapeutic use of self, and thought this was a great book! I wish they had gone over forming therapeutic relationships with patients more when I was in OT school.

"Therapeutic use of self" -- everyone in a service position, especially health care, should be aware of this dynamic.

I needed this for class. Good information and well written but probably not useful after this class (because when you read it once, you pretty much get it). Also, my professor basically covered it all in lecture. I would not buy it unless you are required to take it to class or have a harder time understanding info from lecture- at least for me, using the library copy would have sufficed.

I dislike this book. Lots of repetition. Everything could be sum up in one or two chapters. I had to get it for school.

Book came brand new and I am excited to use this book as I start this Occupational Therapy journey!

The book was in terrible condition
