Publisher Synopsis
"Most psychotherapies and theories of psychotherapy recognize, in one way or another, the centrality of emotion in both psychopathology and therapeutic change. This invaluable new book describes an 'emotionally focused' therapeutic approach that virtually all therapists will find useful. The book is divided into theoretical, intervention, and clinical example sections, each of which offers valuable insights. Therapists of all persuasions will benefit greatly from this work." --Morris Eagle, PhD "There is no doubt that Les Greenberg is both a pioneer and the field's premier investigator in the important work of applying the basic research on emotions to the process of psychotherapy. The focus on primary emotions and their change is what distinguishes this book. It is a fabulous compendium of strategies for working with emotions and draws from both behavioral and experiential therapies. A 'must' read." --Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, University of Washington "Although emotion has long been recognized as playing a significant role in the development, maintenance, and change of most clinical problems, the guidelines for working with emotions therapeutically have always left something to be desired. Not so with this book by Greenberg and Pavio. In a refreshing blend of clinical sensitivity and compelling research findings, the authors have done a masterful job of explaining why an emotion-focused intervention is central to therapeutic change, and describing how this may be implemented clinically. Their lucid, jargon-free exposition of conceptual and therapeutic issues proves an invaluable resource for practicing therapists of any orientation. This indeed is a landmark contribution to the field." --Marvin Goldfried, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, State University of New York, Stony Brook Read more...
