Ecological Counseling: An Innovative Approach to Conceptualizing Person–Environment Interaction

Edited by Robert K. Conyne and Ellen P. Cook

Traditionally, in the therapeutic process, counselors and psychotherapists have focused more on individual and internal influences and less on the environment in which a client interacts. Contemporary mental health service providers have increasingly turned to ecological interventions to address the myriad issues presented by diverse client groups. Treatment strategies that consider clients as individuals within the contexts of families, cultural groups, workplaces, and communities can be more effective than traditional approaches because they often help clients develop coping skills that better address the relevant aspects of their lives.

In this book, the authors provide a theoretical foundation for ecological counseling and suggest strategies for incorporating ecological interventions into counseling. Case studies, competencies, and techniques designed for use in psychotherapy, counselor training and supervision, group work, career counseling, community outreach, organizational development, advocacy, and prevention efforts are included in this one-of-a-kind text. 2004 325 pages. ISBN 1-55620-199-0
