description: Skilled Empathy provides both beginning and more experienced psychotherapists with a guidebook that will allow them to develop the necessary skills to create safety or to refine the skills they have to better serve their clients. The client's feeling of safety is a crucial element of effective treatment. This manual brings together the "nuts and bolts" of developing safety in the therapy process, a subject rarely addressed by itself. Topics include *Initiating the clinical contract *Dealing with "misses" *Identifying feelings *Working with traumatized clients *Developing therapists' self-care *Assessing safety needs *Setting boundaries *Teaching self-soothing *Using touch in therapy and *Facilitating closure. A CD-ROM is included that contains the forms, scripts and questionnaires from the book.
