Content
This book addresses specific ways in which a therapist can engender the therapeutic process, especially with clients with whom nothing effective is happening. Working with transcripts of actual sessions, the author examines each client statement to show where the therapeutic movement has taken place, and each therapist response to show how it did or did not help bring about a kind of direct bodily experiencing called "focusing". The author shows how the therapist, working from any therapeutic orientation, can turn difficulties into moments of rational therapy. Most importantly, he shows how whatever arises inwardly in the client is respected and pursued.

About the author
Eugene T. Gendlin, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He is the founder and was, for many years, the editor of "Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice." For his development of experiential psychology, he was chosen by the Psychotherapy Division of the American Psychological Association for their first "Distinguished Professional Psychologist" award. He is the author of many books and articles. The Focusing Institutes in Chicago, Illinois, and Spring Valley, New York, offer training in focusing and focusing-oriented psychotherapy.
Reviews
'Gendlin offers a convincing argument and demonstration that it is attention to the experimental manner rather than the content that provides entry into the 'border zone' between the client's conscious and unconscious processing. This is a rich and clinically helpful book on a process oriented approach to deepening client's experience. It will be of great use to clinicians of all orientations in providing detailed accounts of how to deepen and enliven a client's bodily-felt experience in order to facilitate the construction of new meaning. This book represents a major contribution to the effort to understand the process of change in psychotherapy.' - Leslie S. Greenberg, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, York University, Toronto, Canada

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
