A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Building on the experiential theories of psychotherapy developed by Rogers and Perls, as well as their own extensive work, Greenberg, Rice, and Elliott have written a highly sophisticated text. A valuable and unique feature is their effort to relate their approach to constructive information processing and the adaptive role of emotion in human functioning. Finally, the book contains a detailed manual of specific methods of therapeutic intervention. The work will predictably have a significant influence on theory, research, and practice in psychotherapy." --Hans H. Strupp, Ph.D., Vanderbilt University

"Greenberg, Rice, and Elliott have written an immensely valuable book that deserves to be read by psychotherapists of all persuasions. It is theoretically innovative and clinically practical. Their view of emotional experience and its role in individual self-organization reflects a remarkable convergence of cognitive, constructivist, and psychodynamic perspectives, and it highlights the fact that effective therapists must be skilled in fencing and facilitating both subtle and intense experiences within the therapeutic encounter. Their treatment tasks give concrete and practical illustrations of what to do in a variety of common developmental dilemmas. Throughout the volume, the authors convey their own considerable sensitivity and clinical expertise. This is a major work in experiential psychotherapy and a wonderful contribution to psychotherapy process." --Michael J. Mahoney, Ph.D., University of North Texas

"Drs. Greenberg, Rice, and Elliot have written an excellent treatment manual/graduate text book which details in admirable specificity the theory and procedures of a modern experiential psychotherapy. I would recommend this book to any of my colleagues who want to know the specifics of experiential psychotherapy. My students consistently rate this book highly." --Barry E. Wolfe, Ph.D., The Virginia Campus of the American Schools of Professional Psychology; Course: Client-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy; advanced graduate students

Présentation de l'éditeur :

While emotions are often given a negative connotation - people are described as being "too emotional" or as needing to "control their emotions" - this book demonstrates that emotions are organizing processes that enhance adaptation and problem solving. Within an experiential therapy framework, the volume shows how to work with moment-by-moment emotional processes to resolve various psychological difficulties. The first two sections introduce the process-experiential approach to treatment. Exploring the interrelationships among emotion, cognition and change, the authors develop a powerful, clinically relevant theory of human functioning. The third section, a detailed treatment manual, outlines the general principles and methods of therapy and provides step-by-step directions for six specific types of intervention. Excerpts from actual transcripts exemplify the various methods, illuminating the moment-by-moment process for both the client and the therapist. This book will be of value to practitioners and students of psychotherapy from a range of orientations including cognitive, dynamic and experiential, and to students and teachers of psychotherapy.
