Theory and Practice of Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy
This comprehensive introduction to Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy lays out the background and fundamentals of the approach covering theory and practice. Gendlin, after many articles on Focusing-oriented psychotherapy, finally published the text Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy in 1996, making these ideas more widely available to the world. With contributions from some of the world's most influential contemporary Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapists and a foreword by Gendlin, this book provides a long overdue survey of this growing field. It explores how Focusing has been integrated with other theoretical orientations such as attachment theory, solution focused therapy, relational psychoanalysi...

Virginia Satir
“Amid these [world] changes is the growing conviction that human beings must evolve a new consciousness that places a high value on being human, that leads toward cooperation, that enables positive conflict resolution, and that recognizes our spiritual foundations. Can we accept as a given that the self of the therapist is an essential factor in the therapeutic process? If this turns out to be true, it will alter our way of teaching therapists as well as treating patients.” (Virginia Satir in The Use of Self in Therapy, The Haworth Press, Inc., 1987 Virginia Satir, an internationally renowned educator and master therapist and a pioneer in the field of family therapy, altered the way ther...

Born to be Wild
Children fidget. They act up. They exhibit behavior which, in today’s society, might be called “noncompliant.” Every year, millions of these children are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder, and subsequently drugged, psychoanalyzed, and ostracized. In Born to be Wild, Kristi Meisenbach Boylan tells how, with the help of an enlightened doctor and some very devoted teachers, she and her husband were able to free her son from labels and medicine. This compelling story not only offers comfort and hope to parents, but gives us a new way of thinking about the “ADD/ADHD epidemic.” “Redefines what it means to be ADHD…a powerfully written story that sheds some much-needed light on a very controversial subject.”—Michael Gurian, author of The Wonder of Boys
What I Think Happened
A book of comedic personal essays about the history of the western world – a “femmoir” in which the author reconfigures famous and infamous historical events and personalities from her perspective as a feminist, a comedian, and a “failed academic.” Sly, self effacing, and wickedly funny, these essays offer a bright new take on learning about history.
The Juggling Act
After Peggy Edwards, Miroslava Lhotsky, and Judy Turner published their highly successful first book,The Healthy Boomer: A No-Nonsense Guide to Midlife Health for Women and Men,they embarked on a series of workshops with health professionals and men and women in midlife. Like them, the participants often found it almost impossible to juggle the responsibilities of midlife and still find time and energy for themselves. Translating the principles of balance and good health into daily action is difficult, and the authors knew from their seminars that participants were always pleased to hear stories of struggle and success from others. It made sense, they concluded, to ask Boomers themselves the...
Integrating Spirituality in Counseling
Elfie Hinterkopf describes the Experiential Focusing Method, a model to help clients work through religious and spiritual problems, deepen existing spiritual experiences, and bring about new, life-giving connections to spirituality. Focusing can be used in conjunction with any psychotherapeutic model and is an essential part of any mental health professional or counselor's repertoire. Through Focusing, the client learns to examine subtle, but concrete, bodily feelings that are a vital part of spiritual discovery and growth. Hinterkopf describes the Six Focusing Steps and illustrates the attitudes crucial to the Focusing process (receptive, expectant, patient, and accepting) with case examples, revealing how they help facilitate spiritual development. She also discusses how counselors can use Focusing to explore their own spirituality and outlines special considerations to ensure that sessions suit the individual client's religious tradition or spiritual orientation.
Integración de la terapia experiencial y la terapia breve
Este profundo e innovador libro presenta dos tipos de terapia, inicialmente diferentes, si no opuestas entre sí, como son la Terapia Breve -y dentro de ésta la terapia de Resolución de Problemas- y las terapias Existenciales -y dentro de éstas, el Focusing-. La una es breve, la otra se toma su tiempo; la una busca la rápida resolución del conflicto, la otra lo saca y lo contempla... y, sin embargo, Bala Jaison logra aunar ambas, sin perder por ello flexibilidad ni libertad para hacer lo que mejor le salga de dentro a cada terapeuta. Pero el libro no sólo trata de eso. En su proceso por plasmar similitudes y aprendizajes mutuos de ambas terapias, la autora describe con gran maestría temas básicos para trabajar con Focusing, como son las interacciones, las Partes y el Crítico Interno. Muy iluminadoras son sus descripciones de casos, en las que salen principalmente estos tres temas. En resumen, un libro altamente recomendable para terapeutas, y terapeutas en formación, en el que lo que destaca es la parte práctica, planteada con sencillez y respeto.
