Beskrivning

In Practicing Psychotherapy in Constructed Reality: Ritual, Charisma, and Enhanced Client Outcomes, Stephen Bacon charts a radical and provocative new direction forward for psychotherapy. Based on the research finding that techniques have no inherent power, and the insights of constructionism, Bacon explores new ways of understanding therapeutic rituals, therapist charisma, and client-centered therapy. Special emphasis is given to an analysis of the work of master therapists, and all of the concepts are illustrated with numerous clinical examples. Finally, Bacon develops a geography of constructed reality which pragmatically supports deliberate practice and therapist mindfulness.

Recensioner i media

Practicing Psychotherapy in Constructed Reality is a groundbreaking new book that challenges the psychotherapeutic orthodoxy in insightful and provocative ways. Stephen Bacon provides a systemic, scholarly analysis of the current state of psychotherapy as well as a profound and imaginative reconceptualization of why psychotherapy is indeed effective. He mines a rich trove of the psychological and philosophical literatures, peppered with clinical examples, to expose the inner workings of the profession, dispute some of our most cherished beliefs, and offer creative suggestions on how to be a powerful psychotherapy change agent.
