Overview

Mental health professionals are increasingly having to consult with various kinds of organizations - a result of changes wrought by managed care, corporate downsizing, and expanding technology. Given these new realities, Corporate Therapy and Consulting serves as an indispensable guide for translating clinical skills into an organizational setting. Dr. Sperry has crafted a book that introduces these new realities and helps clinicians negotiate their way to a successful practice by interacting in a corporate setting. It includes a thorough analysis of contemporary economic and societal trends, the different kinds of responses to them, and the role corporate therapy and consultation plays in promoting a viable work environment - no matter what the external variables. The text provides a clear, cogent description of the hierarchy of intervention processes (and some predictable mutations) from contracting, assessing, and planning to effecting meaningful organizational change. In Corporate Therapy and Consulting, today's mental health professional will find the fundamental knowledge and tools necessary for effective modern-day practice.

As corporations downsize and restructure they are increasingly bringing in mental health consultants to deal with the emotional fallout of change. Sperry (psychiatry and behavioral medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin) translates therapeutic practices to meet the specific needs of corporate settings, unraveling the economic and social trends of corporate therapy including organizational dynamics, diagnosis, interventions, executive consulting, psychotherapy, coaching, and consultations with health care organizations. Although the volume emphasizes helping strategies it also describes a burgeoning new area of clinical practice and the ways in which counseling skills can be enhanced to meet a new market.
