The Power of Specificity in Psychotherapy

When Therapy Works-And When It Doesn't

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Power of Specificity in Psychotherapy: When Therapy Works-And When It Doesn't presents specificity theory, a contemporary process theory of psychotherapy that holds that each therapist-patient dyad constitutes a unique reciprocal system, challenging us to reconsider how psychotherapy is optimally practiced and taught. The perspectives of specificity theory are corroborated by cutting-edge findings in neurobiology and infant research and alter traditional views of how we understand and utilize "theory," "response," and "relationship" in both treatment and training.
