- About The Author
- Charles J. Gelso, PhD, completed his doctorate in counseling psychology at Ohio State University in 97 and has been at the University of Maryland since then. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Psychology and codirector of the Maryland Psychotherapy Clinic and Research Laboratory, a clinic aimed at training in psychodynamic therapy, conducting therapy research, and providing open-ended low-cost treatment. Dr. Gelso has published widely in the area of the therapeutic relationship in psychotherapy, with particular emphasis on what he has termed a tripartite model of the client-therapist relationship. The focal points of this model, and of Dr. Gelso amp rsquo s research and theoretical work, are the working alliance between client and therapist, what he terms the real or personal relationship, and the transference-countertransference configuration. These elements are posited to exist in all therapy relationships. He has also written significantly about research training in practice-related fields in psychology and the integration of science and practice. He has written several books in addition to Counseling Psychology, including Countertransference and the Therapist amp rsquo s Inner Experience: Perils and Possibilities (with Jeffrey A. Hayes), The Real Relationship in Psychotherapy: The Hidden Foundation of Change, and, most recently, The Therapeutic Relationship in Psychotherapy Practice: An Integrative Perspective. He has received many awards, including the Leona Tyler Award, the top award in the field of counseling psychology, and has been editor of the Journal of Counseling Psychology and Psychotherapy. Dr. Gelso has been engaged in the practice of psychotherapy and therapy supervision throughout his career.

She is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA Divisions 2, 7, 29, and 35) and has received awards for both her teaching (Homer L. Dodge Award for Teaching Excellence in 2 3) and her scholarship (from the Society for Psychotherapy Research and from the Division of Psychotherapy of APA in 2 ).
