Beskrivning
This book presents transcripts of three entire psychotherapy sessions by a master therapist, along with his candid reflections and commentary. A rare opportunity to look in the mind of a seasoned professional.Unlike many presentations of clinical material, Inside the Session does not offer carefully selected examples of therapeutic dialogue that are conveniently chosen to conform to the therapist amp rsquo s views. Rather, it presents full transcripts of three entire sessions, enabling readers to see not just what went right but also where the therapist may have missed a crucial detail or may have intervened at the wrong moment. This volume provides a rare opportunity to look over the shoulder-and into the mind-of a renowned psychotherapist at work.The therapist in this candid and revealing work is prolific author Paul L. Wachtel, who intersperses the sessions amp rsquo transcripts with insightful at-the-moment commentary on how to explore the client's thoughts and experiences in ways that encourage insight and promote new interpersonal patterns and on the fine points of language choice by the therapist. A further illuminating feature of the book is an integrative framework that links the clinical work and the theoretical discussion. Wachtel amp rsquo s well-known integrative theory draws on psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, systemic, and experiential perspectives, highlighting convergences that are obscured by different terminologies and clarifying where the differences are real and important.

Recensioner i media

amp ldquo Wachtel chose to include his commentary primarily to show, as the teaching took this book is meant to be, exactly how a therapist amp rsquo s mind works while he or she is in session. Textbook examples disregard this as well, choosing to write their final, polished thoughts at the end of the session when everything feels like it adds up. Real life therapy, however, doesn amp rsquo t work that way. And real life therapy is exactly what Dr. Wachtel is working to relay to his readers. amp rdquo amp ndash International Journal of Psychotherapy
