This monograph instructs counselors on how to better recognize, understand, and treat clients' underlying problems. The model presented helps uncover the origin of these core concerns, provides a means to address them, and challenges counselors to move beyond the DSM to better serve their clients. This framework will also assist counselors in providing more targeted treatment plans.

"This book offers a welcome alternative to the medical diagnostic and treatment model, which focuses on symptoms and labels, and instead emphasizes relational issues and strength-based processes that bring counselors back to our professional roots. It provides a map for intervention and strategies for truly understanding clients and their need."--Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson, EdD., Oregon State University
"How exciting for clinicians to have a comprehensive, systematic, and respectful lens to view their clients through. Dr. Halstead provides mental health professionals with a holistic model for conceptualizing clients' core issues, and subsequently developing clinical assessments and interventions that honor the complexity of each individual."--Jodi Ann Mullen, PhD, State University of New York at Oswego
