- Outside Looking In:
When Someone You Love Is in Therapy
by Patrice Moulton, Ph.D. and Lin Harper, Ph.D.
Families and friends may sigh with relief when their troubled loved ones finally get help through therapy. But then what? The changes in mood, attention, and behavior that may accompany therapeutic intervention are likely to evoke mixed reactions in what has been until now a neglected population: the client's support community of family and friends.
They may feel afraid or anxious or out of the loop and out of control. They may express these feelings in ways that create unnecessary challenges to the therapeutic process and the progress of the client. Outside Looking In can help by providing a guide to the therapeutic process and practical survival tips for the client's family members and loved ones.
In clear language and with a minimum of jargon Moulton and Harper explain the counseling process, including confidentiality, and its typical stages. The stories they share are adapted from real counseling situations, and the exercises they've included at the end of each chapter help readers understand their own reactions and feelings.
Outside Looking In is an effective tool for any therapist and/or mental health professional. It can tremendously enhance and support the therapeutic process by informing and preparing the client's family and/or loved ones. This resource should be available in every therapist's office for all new clients to take back to their communities.
