Reeducation book #3. Not as good as "Skills and Strategies...," although it is simpler to read and more accessible. There is some information here that wasn't really covered in "Skills and Strategies," or not in the same way, but mostly they overlap and "Skills and Strategies" goes into a lot more detail, most of which is actually useful. I guess I would say that "Skills and Strategies" analyzes what the therapist should do in a session on a micro level, whereas "Counseling Strategies is more macro and superficial. Additionally, the copy I'm reading is a very old edition and somewhat dated (one of the disadvantages of trying to do this in Israel). Maybe subsequent editions are better; I have no way of knowing.
