Does Self-Help Have a Role in Professional Coaching or Counseling Practice?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 23, 2009 -- With many years experience in clinical psychology, Arlene Unger, PhD (PSY), became interested in wellness, health and executive coaching and obtained her certifications several years ago. She found that some clients needed a coach more than a mental health counselor, and others could make significant progress with "self-help" and a bit of professional encouragement.

When the opportunity to start RealPsychSolutions.com presented itself, the rather unique theme became obvious: what is the proper role of self-help, coaching and counseling in providing clients with skills for optimal mental health and living well. How to decide which is right and when to switch?

Dr Unger has written an article for professional coaches and counselors entitled "What is the Role of Self-Help in a Counseling/Coaching Practice?" also available at the website. In this article, Dr Unger answers some of the common concerns that professionals may have regarding the integration of self-help into a professional practice.

RealPsychSolutions.com offers free materials and resources, as well as an economical Store for in-depth materials that often include useful exercises, charts and checklists, etc. Qualified authors are encouraged to contact Real Psych Solutions.
