Dr. Şafak Ebru Toksoy, Istanbul Bilgi University, Institute of Graduate Programs: Trauma and Disaster Mental Health
This book is a treasure to help psychotherapists understand clients unconscious process and non-verbal communication. Richard Erskine skilfully demonstrates the theory and practice of a relationally-focused and developmentally-based psychotherapy that facilitates the integration of the fragmented parts of the self. This book is a must read to every psychotherapist, from beginners to the very experienced ones.
Ruth Birkebaek, MD, psychotherapist, supervisor, and international trainer, London, UK
Each chapter provides a richly coloured tapestry of Integrative Psychotherapy. The presentation of client material helps to give the reader a vibrant image of how in-depth psychotherapy looks in practice. This book is a wonderful, essential creation, beautifully crafted, with many practical ideas and concepts interwoven and interconnected.

Richard Erskine is a much-respected innovator and developer of integrative psychotherapy, well known for his writings and teaching on Inquiry, Attunement, and Involvement in the therapeutic relationship. The various chapters in this volume offer vivid case vignettes that provide useful examples of the methodology involved in conducting in-depth psychotherapy. In addition to the chapters addressing individual psychotherapy, there are chapters focusing on couple as well as group therapy, and supervision. This book is an ideal resource for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of a developmentally-based, relationally-focused integrative psychotherapy.
