Basic Counseling Techniques:: A Beginning Therapist's Tool Kit (Second Edition)
Wayne Perry is the Program Director of Amridge University's marriage and family therapy, pastoral counseling, and professional counseling programs. He is a Clinical Member and an Approved Supervisor for the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT), and a Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC). He is licensed in Alabama as Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Approved Supervisor of Supervision. Dr. Perry earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from Emory University, and he is currently completing a second doctorate in marriage and family therapy. Dr. Perry has more than 30 years experience as a therapist, currently active as a staff therapist with Samaritan Counseling Center. Wayne declares, "I love the academic work, but the clinical work is crucial to who I am. It keeps me grounded." He demonstrates that belief by averaging a case load of approximately 15 clients per week while maintaining his full time academic teaching load. In addition to a busy teaching and clinical practice, Dr. and Mrs. Perry frequently lead workshops for church and community groups. He has authored various articles in professional journals and popular magazines, and a weekly column in a local newspaper providing practical applications of all of this experience.
