Correspondence Psychologist. The Method of the Future in the Work of Helping Practitioners

The book will tell about a new unique tool in the work of a psychologist – written counseling. This tool is gaining more interest among psychologists, and masters acknowledge that the future belongs to it. Text counseling allows: – to build the entire practice on it or combine it with in-person or online meetings; – to occupy its place in a unique niche, where not many specialists are still working; – to expand the practice by taking on more clients and supporting them from anywhere in the world; – to relieve a busy work schedule and achieve a more free and comfortable one; – to choose either a short-term counseling format focused on a specific request or to conduct in-depth work on transforming the client’s personality. This book is written in a workbook format – it contains many practical cases, exercises, and author's life hacks. It discusses boundaries, rules, dynamics, and structure of text consultations, and how to see a person in the text when one cannot see them physically. The authors are practicing psychologists and creators of a course on written counseling.
