Stanley L. Brodsky demonstrates how therapists can tailor their interventions to avoid impasses, build a firm alliance with the coerced and reluctant client, and help him or her develop more productive behaviors. Through the use of case material, the author demonstrates that interacting creatively with reluctant clients can lead to significant breakthroughs. The provocative ideas in this book will be welcomed by therapists and counselors who work with offenders, probationers, involuntarily committed patients and, more broadly, other clients who fail to make progress.
