Psychotherapy Isn't What You Think
Psychotherapy Isn't What You Think
This book draws on the author's half century of experience in teaching, consulting with, and supervising psychotherapists throughout the world. He begins with the premise that the field has become too preoccupied with information: collecting information from the client and then feeding that information back to the client in different forms. The author then explains how and why shifting away from information gathering to attending to what is actually happening in the therapy room increases the effectiveness of the therapeutic interaction.

Psychoterapeutické systémy
Psychoterapeutické systémy
Systematická kniha přináší přehled základních psychoterapeutických směrů včetně psychodynamického, existenciálního, interpersonálního, behaviorálního, kognitivního, systemického, konstruktivistického, multikulturního a integrativního. Jednotlivé školy jsou spolu srovnávány s cílem vytvořit transteoretický pohled na psychoterapii. Každá kapitola je pojata jednotně, takže od příkladu a příslušné teorie osobnosti a psychopatologie se přechází k typickým terapeutickým procesům a podobě terapeutického vztahu, jsou rozebrány různé přístupy v rámci daného směru, pojednány výzkumy efektivity, kritika z pohledu jiných přístupů a také hypotetická kazuistika pacienta C. léčená optikou tohoto přístupu. Nechybějí další příklady ani klíčové pojmy a doporučené zdroje k dalšímu studiu. Obsahem knihy je analýza 15 vůdčích psychoterapeutických směrů a stručný přehled další 32 škol. Autoři docházejí k závěru, že různé pohledy se shodují v tom, jaké procesy navozují změnu, ale liší se v názoru na to, co je třeba měnit. Celosvětově uznávaná kniha, která je určená pro všechny typy psychoterapeutů i studentů psychoterapie, je překladem devátého amerického vydání.
