Drawing on thirty years of clinical experience, Bill O’Hanlon—one of psychotherapy’s most innovative practitioners and teachers—examines this simple yet often elusive aspect of successful therapy: change. With his characteristic wit and style, O’Hanlon presents the key concepts and most powerful methods for achieving personal transformation. Readers are provided with the perspective and inspiration necessary to embrace the risk and reward of change.
This was required reading for one of my classes, so I was surprised when it was really readable. It was a lot less textbook and very easy to understand. O'Hanlon teaches about a lot of different practical interventions that one can use in their own life or a therapist can use for a client to bring about change and stop patterns or processes that are unhealthy.
I read this book for a college class. It was a quick, easy read and had many practical interventions and recommendations for therapists or laypeople wanting to encourage change in themselves or others. I’ll certainly be keeping it as a reference.
Therapeutic change. Change one’s habits. Change one’s mental limits. There are several ways to change my life to the better. I will read this one again.
