Welcome to Handout Land

This compilation of my handouts has evolved over the course of a number of years. When I first began giving workshops and seminars, I would often read on the feedback forms, "Wish there would have been handouts since there was so much information." So, I started making handouts. I guess I got a little carried away, though, as you can see with this book. Workshop sponsors started sweating a bit when I sent 25 or 30 pages of handouts (I was restraining myself-I wanted to send 50). So, to save trees and to make them available again after they have been out of print for some years, they are back, newly revised and compiled.

Years ago, someone came up to me at a workshop and declared, "You give good handout!" I hope you agree. I have endeavored to chock these pages full of useful information and summaries.

The work in this edition owes a great deal to my former assistant, Martha Geske, who died unexpectedly recently, and to my current assistant, Bianca Sivan. Work on previous editions was done by Mary Nathan and Steffanie O'Hanlon. Thanks to them all. I produce a great deal of original work, but organizing it and making these compilations is not my forte. Without their good work, this would very likely not exist.

Because I am committed to spreading these ideas, you have my permission to reproduce and of these handouts for colleagues, friends or clients. Please do not use them in any commercial (i.e., money-making) activities or products, though, and please keep my name and contact information on them when you share them.

Because this is an online version, we can make changes relatively easily. Please let us know about any corrections or suggestions that occur to you.

THE ACCEPT FRAMEWORK

Acknowledging, Validating, and Valuing It is important to attend carefully to clients, acknowledging their points of views and feelings. It is also important to communicate a basic liking for and valuing of the person. One can also give a sense that the points of view and feelings of the person are valid or within the realm of normal human experience.

Clarifying Concerns, Complaints and Goals or Directions Collaboratively explore clients' concerns and complaints, that is, what they believe is troubling enough to have sought your help. The idea to seek help may be someone else's and it is just as important to explore this. Then find out what the clients' (and/or the people who think the client needs help) view of what would constitute a successful outcome. Get such goals, outcomes and destinations in action terms (so that one could see and hear what would be happening at that time). If the client doesn't want goals that are so specific, one can always inquire about directions that would be preferred rather than specific outcomes.

Changing the Viewing, the Doing and the Context Help people challenge patterns of their meaning-making (stories), what they are attending to, patterns of action and interaction, and any aspects of the context around the problem (cultural, gender, family background, neurological/physiological, spiritual aspects of clients' lives).

Evaluating Progress, Results and Outcomes Check in with people throughout the process to find out whether what you are working on with them is relevant and helpful. Use scaling and percentage questions, as well as feeling questions to assess how things are going according to clients.

Planning Next Steps Plan assignments for out of session experiments. Ask about when the next meeting should be according to them. Ask people whether they want to come back, whether they have made enough progress in the direction they wanted to stop the process of counseling or therapy or to take a break. Plan follow-up contacts and relapse prevention or recovery.

Terminating Treatment Stop treatment by mutual agreement, leaving the possibility open for return for any future problems or recurrence of previous problems.
