Riassunto
Process-Focused Therapy weaves together three key perspectives to help clinicians create a more effective therapeutic session: client problems as faulty process, the goal of therapy as changing such faulty process within the session, and the art of shaping the session process for each client.
Testo aggiuntivo
"The shift from focusing on the content of a client’s problem to the process in which it is embedded is a difficult one for clients and therapists because content is so seductive. Yet, it is in the process that experiential change can happen. By focusing exclusively on this fundamental issue, this book offers important material for therapists at all levels."
Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, creator of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy
"Clear, concise, and cogent, Taibbi's book is a brilliant guide to mastering the challenges of doing process-focused therapy. Many of us, experienced as well as beginning therapists, sometimes struggle with how best to lead our clients through the tangled jungles of their lives without getting a little lost right along with them. Powerful process therapy demands that we be fully emotionally present in each session while having a very well-defined sense of who our clients are and what we are doing. Taibbi provides us with detailed and accessible maps of how to individualize the treatment plans for each of our clients and how to work with them moment by moment. Keep this book nearby in your office. I suspect you will want to refer back to it frequently. It is delightful and full of light."David Treadway, PhD, author of Treating Couples Well: A Practical Guide to Creating Couples Therapy
