First published in 2002, Psychotherapy Relationships that Work: Volume 1: Evidence-Based Therapist Contributions has broken new ground by focusing renewed and corrective attention on the substantial research behind the crucial (but often overlooked) client-therapist relationship. Now presented as part of a two-volume set, this highly cited, widely adopted classic is edited by John C. Norcross and Michael J. Lambert. Each chapter in this volume features a specific therapist behavior that improves treatment outcome or a transdiagnostic patient characteristic enabling clinicians to effectively tailor psychotherapy.

The third edition includes updates to existing chapters as well as new contributions on the real relationship, emotional expression, immediacy, therapist self-disclosure, promoting treatment credibility, and adapting therapy to the patient’s gender identity and sexual orientation. All chapters provide original meta-analyses, clinical examples, landmark studies, diversity considerations, training implications, and research-infused therapeutic practices by distinguished contributors.

Featuring expanded coverage and an enhanced practice focus, this third edition of a seminal work is essential for clinicians and students in the field of psychotherapy. With its comprehensive exploration of evidence-based therapist contributions, it offers valuable insights into improving treatment outcomes through the client-therapist relationship.
