Publisher's summary

Many clients take the first step to see a psychotherapist and do not return after the first session. Why do people disengage so early, when we have so much to offer? One of the key reasons is that we are too focused on conducting an intake instead of finding a way to give.

We have to find ways to deepen the engagement with our clients right from the first session of therapy.

The First Kiss is specifically for the discerning psychotherapist who is willing to challenge the status quo of our profession in the way we conduct our first sessions.

At the forefront of coaching psychotherapists and agencies in their professional development, psychologist and trainer Daryl Chow, MA, PhD (Psych) provides compelling applicable ways to increase your impact clients, so as to reduce dropouts and achieve better outcomes.

By following the concepts in this book, you will also develop a perennial framework to sustain your lifelong development plan in improving your first sessions and beyond.

Very helpful book!

This book was recommended to me in professional forum and it came at a perfect time. Many questions I had been stewing over were answered. I also appreciated that this book was narrated by the author. It gives the feeling of the book being read as the writer intended and makes you feel like you know the author. Will begin using the Session Rating Scales as soon as possible. I now want to buy the hard copy so I can go back over some chapters when I am sitting still.

Great book with great ideas

What a wonderful way to present the importance of a first session. I also love the DP lessons.
