Review Quotes:
"In What Therapists Say and Why They Say It, McHenry and McHenry offer readers a comprehensive, transtheoretical reference book of commonly used therapeutic techniques. Their own extensive clinical experience informs an insightful awareness and description of effective therapy. Most impressive is the evidence of the authors' deep understanding of the therapy process in concert with a pragmatic style of writing that will be completely accessible, and immensely useful, to novice therapists. A great review for a more seasoned clinician as well."

"This book is an exceptional introduction to the theory and practice of counseling. It's written with an engaging voice that students will appreciate, and I'm particularly impressed with the authors' inclusion of specific techniques for helping clients perceive unrecognized strengths and assets as a way to craft a more empowering life story."
