Integrative Psychotherapy in Action

The elusive essence of the therapy interview is captured in this volume. Attention to detail, to the flow of therapeutic interchange and to the therapist's decision-making process results in a unique contribution to the literature of psychotherapy. Integrative Psychotherapy in Action begins with a theoretical overview which - from the perspective of normal human development - integrates concepts from psychoanalysis, client-centred, behavioural, Gestalt and family therapies, and transactional analysis. The remainder of the book focuses on clinical applications of this integrating theory; each chapter contains an unedited transcript of an actual therapy session together with explanatory comments.
