Description
Employing a unique experiential approach, readers "sit in" on the therapy process via transcriptions of a completed 10 session therapy. Ongoing commentaries allow readers to follow the therapist's inner thoughts about the ensuing therapy process. The book begins with chapters that explore the conventional theory and practice of Adlerian therapy and introduce Adlerian-pattern focused therapy. The following four chapters walk readers through the beginning sessions which emphasize the therapeutic relationship and the identification and focus on pattern change. Readers then follow the pattern change process as it unfolds in the middle phase and in the termination phase of treatment. The text concludes with a discussion of how this therapy succeeded in a client with major depression.
Successfully blending conventional knowledge of Adlerian therapy with a contemporary approach, Learning and Practicing Adlerian Therapy is an ideal resource for future clinicians.
