Lifestyle changes : a clinician's guide to common events, challenges, and options

"In Lifestyle Changes, Vera Sonja Maass draws upon 25 years of counseling experience to present a clinician's guide to working with clients who are facing a fundamentally new lifestyle. She discusses such events as divorce, widowhood, career changes, cohabitation, single parenthood, and retirement, focusing on positive ways for the client to respond and adapt to the situation. There are plenty of books available to help people deal with significant adjustments; Maass' book, however, goes beyond these others, focusing on the many options that can bestow meaningful contexts to new life circumstances. With a mix of case examples, personal vignettes, sample client-clinician dialogue, and engaging language, Maass has created what is sure to become a practical and authoritative reference for helping clients dealing with major life transitions."--BOOK JACKET
