Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In this book, qualitative studies on psychotherapy expertise from the U.S.A., Canada, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Portugal, and the Czech Republic are compiled and synthesized. Understanding the universal characteristics of expert therapists practicing around the world provides training programs and mental health practitioners with a heuristic for optimal therapist and counselor development.
MoreLong description:
Thomas Skovholt and Len Jennings' landmark Master Therapists: Exploring Expertise in Therapy and Counseling was the first book to apply qualitative methodology to the study of validly selected expert therapists. Considering the growing number of international qualitative studies on psychotherapy expertise, the authors join forces once again to provide students, academics, researchers, and practitioners with Expertise in Counseling and Psychotherapy: Master Therapist Studies from Around the World. In this book, Jennings and Skovholt compile and compare, for the first time, a series of parallel studies of expertise in psychotherapy from around the world. The studies include therapist expertise research projects in Southeast Asia (Singapore, Japan, and Korea), North America (the U.S.A. and Canada), and Europe (Czech Republic and Portugal). Synthesizing and presenting common characteristics of master practitioners on a global scale, Expertise in Counseling and Psychotherapy is the most comprehensive description of psychotherapy expertise at the international level that has ever been conducted.
Jennings and Skovholt's edited book represents a unique contribution to the study of master therapists that not only presents high quality studies from various countries, but also uses the means of qualitative meta-analysis in order to synthesize the findings across those studies. The international character of the book together with the use of innovative methodologies makes this endeavour a truly remarkable addition to counselling and psychotherapy research. Congratulations to all contributors!
