This book examines how psychotherapists can be appropriately responsive to clients' unique needs across a variety of therapeutic approaches by saying or doing the right thing at the right time. Expert contributors from a variety of theoretical orientations synthesize key research and identify common factors across these approaches along with their unique contributions to the field of psychology. Chapters first explore important broad concepts and strategies, including therapists attuning to their clients' needs, examining the importance of the therapeutic relationship, the role clinicians play as attachment figures for their clients, and repairing ruptures in the working alliance. Building from this foundation, chapters then examine specific types of therapy in detail, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, emotion-focused therapy, control-mastery theory, narrative therapy, attachment-based family therapy for LGBTQ individuals and their nonaccepting caregivers, and integrative therapies. Authors review strategies for responding to specific client markers, cultural diversity considerations, guidance for training and supervision, and directions for future research. Clinical case examples enrich the material, demonstrating the dos and don'ts of responsiveness with diverse clients.

In this book, master clinicians and psychotherapy researchers examine how technique and the therapeutic relationship are inseparably intertwined, and engaging case studies demonstrate how successful therapists negotiate this complex relationship. What makes therapy work? Clearly, the therapeutic alliance is an important component of a successful relationship between therapist and client, but how does it fit into the relationship more broadly conceived? A better question might be “What works with whom and in which circumstances?’ Using a variety of theoretical and research “lenses” and drawing on various models of psychotherapy, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive–behavioral therapy, emotion‑focused therapy, and brief family therapy, the contributors discuss the factors affecting client outcomes. The link between relationship processes and technique is bought to life in a rich array of engaging case studies that demonstrate how successful therapists negotiate the relationship, make key moment‑to‑moment decisions, and promote positive change in their clients.
