Book description
Generations of clinicians have valued Principles of Psychotherapy for
its breadth of coverage and accessibility and the author's ability to
gather many elements into a unified presentation. The Third Edition
presents the conceptual and empirical foundations of evidence-based
practice perspectives of psychodynamic theory. It also offers case
examples illustrating what a therapist might say and do in various
circumstances. In addition, it includes discussion of broader
psychodynamic perspectives on short-term therapy. Mental health
professionals will benefit from the revised edition s inclusion of
empirically based guidelines for conducting effective psychotherapy.
