Integrative Psychotherapy in Action

by Richard G. Erskine

The elusive essence of the therapy interview is captured in this volume. Attention to detail, to the flow of therapeutic interchange and to the therapist′s decision-making process results in a unique contribution to the literature of psychotherapy. Integrative Psychotherapy in Action begins with a theoretical overview which - from the perspective of normal human development - integrates concepts from psychoanalysis, client-centred, behavioural, Gestalt and family therapies, and transactional analysis. The remainder of the book focuses on clinical applications of this integrating theory; each chapter contains an unedited transcript of an actual therapy session together with explanatory comments.
