Personalizing Psychotherapy: Assessing and Accommodating Patient Preferences

By John C Norcross and John C. Norcross

This book offers detailed strategies for assessing and accommodating patient preferences for the psychotherapist, the therapeutic approach, and treatment activities. The authors synthesize research into easy-to-read advice and present tools for measuring preferences, including their Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences (C-NIP). Four key strategies for accommodating a client's preferences are examined in depth: adopting them into treatment, adapting the therapist's approach, exploring alternative preferences, and referring the patient to another practitioner if necessary.
