Emotion-Focused Therapy: Coaching Clients to Work Through Their Feelings

Twerski, Abraham J

Caldwell, Marcus B

<b>In this book, master clinicians and psychotherapy researchers examine how technique and the therapeutic relationship are inseparably intertwined, and engaging case studies demonstrate how successful therapists negotiate this complex relationship.</b> <p/> What makes therapy work? Clearly, the therapeutic alliance is an important component of a successful relationship between therapist and client, but how does it fit into the relationship more broadly conceived? A better question might be "What works with whom and in which circumstances?' <p/> Using a variety of theoretical and research "lenses" and drawing on various models of psychotherapy, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and brief family therapy, the contributors discuss the factors affecting client outcomes. The link between relationship processes and technique is bought to life in a rich array of engaging case studies that demonstrate how successful therapists negotiate the relationship, make key moment-to-moment decisions, and promote positive change in their clients. <br>
