Mye artig terapeutisk snacks i denne! Detaljert og spennende gjennomgang av fem terapiforløp med ulike problemstillinger (min favoritt: the cold-blooded businessman). Veldig mange «aha-opplevelser» fra delen skrevet om affektiv nevrobiologi og kobling mellom kropp-sinn + utvikling av psykosomatiske symptomer. Bruker en del plass på å argumentere for metodens effektivitet/overlegenhet, men lett å se forbi dette.

Boka får et enormt plusspoeng for myriaden av fengende huskeregler jeg 100% kommer til å stjele, inklusivt «What you resist, persists», «Feeling is healing» og «Assess, not assume/Explore, don’t explain».

Avslutter med et slående sitat fra Leigh McCullough Vaillant (1997) gjengitt i boka med følgende ordlyd, «the more one can laugh when happy, cry when sad, use anger to set firm limits, make love passionately, and give and receive tenderness fully and openly, the further one is from suffering. And the fuller one is with the joy of existence, the more generous one can be towards others».

چهار فصلی ک مربوط ب درمان چهار بیمار هست خیلی خوب نوشته شده و کاملا کاربردی هست برا روان شناسایی ک در حال یادگیری istdp هستن. فصل دو و فصل های آخر منتهی بیشتر به ترویج و تبلیغ و صحبت از روایی و اعتبار رویکرد پرداخته.

Astonishing book. Some people are addicted to the TV show Intervention. I'm addicted to psychology books with strikingly beautiful stories of redemption and re-birth, when miserable people change and discover happiness. In other words, the case studies are good, and the psychology seems to be based on a major breakthrough in the understanding of how people can become happy.
