Interpersonal Process in Therapy: An Integrative Model: An Integrative Model

by Edward Teyber, Faith Teyber

Therapy that effects change must authentically involve you, the therapist. Engaging, readable, and immediately helpful with clients, INTERPERSONAL PROCESS IN AN INTEGRATIVE MODEL brings together various theories into a cohesive framework that centers on the therapeutic relationship. It shows you practical ways to intervene with your clients, while addressing and alleviating the concerns new therapists often have -- such as worrying about making "mistakes." It also provides clear guidelines for effective (and ineffective) ways to establish a working alliance, address resistance and resolve ruptures in the therapeutic relationship, help clients transition from surface conversation to their key concerns, respond to clients' painful feelings, develop a focus for treatment, and more. Featuring new case examples and updated research, the seventh edition's extensive clinical vignettes and sample therapist-client dialogues will bring you "in the room" with the therapist.

I read Interpersonal Process in Therapy in graduate school and have just recently finished reading it again. It was a powerful refresher on effective therapeudic skills. It also reminded me of skills I have learned about but since forgot.

The first half of the book was incredibly informative. It provides exquisite details on specific skills while also conceptualizing the dynamic of the coexisting therapeudic process. I felt as though the second half of this book was a bit repetitive, although I can appreciate how they took the skills from the first half and added more detail in the second half. Perhaps I would have preferred different examples be used, but it was still helpful either way.

This book is literally my Bible!!!
It's a foundational text that provides psychotherapists with a practical, relational framework for effecting meaningful change, supported on integrative views of very important approaches like Cognitive Therapy, Attachment Theory, Family systems and Psychodynamic approaches.
As a clinician, what I find most powerful, and the heart of this model, is the phenomenon of the Corrective Emotional Experience (CEE): providing a lived experience that fundamentally challenges and heals a client’s maladaptive expectations of relationships by way of a healthy therapeutic relationship.

I would not be half as effective as I currently am in the counseling room without this book. A must read for anyone studying to become a therapist.
