LEARNING AND PRACTICING ADLERIAN THERAPY IBD

Sinopse

Learning and Practicing Adlerian Therapyánot only provides readers with a review of conventional Adlerian therapy but introduces a contemporary version of it called Adlerian pattern-focused therapy. It is a cutting-edge approach that combines basic Adlerian interventions with a unique therapeutic strategy that is brief, highly effective, and reimbursable.áEmploying a unique experiential approach, readers &ldquo,sit in&rdquo, on the therapy process via transcriptions of a completed 10 session therapy. Ongoing commentaries allow readers to follow the therapist&rsquo,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.áSuccessfully blending conventional knowledge of Adlerian therapy with a contemporary approach,áLearning and Practicing Adlerian Therapyáis an ideal resource for future clinicians.Len Sperry, M.D., Ph.D., is a professor of mental health counseling at Florida Atlantic University.
