Reviews and Endorsements

The authors have succeeded in writing another masterpiece on Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT). The book is a natural and well-written extension of its predecessors focusing on the therapeutic mechanisms of MIT with particular attention to the therapeutic relationship when treating individuals manifesting personality pathology and related symptoms. The authors master the balance between offering up-to-date theory and research while at the same time providing several, helpful case examples and concrete clinical techniques. This way, the book is of great interest to a wide audience of researchers and clinicians interested in MIT and experiential practices more broadly. I thoroughly recommend this!"

This book is a much needed addition to the literature on psychotherapy. This is an innovative, insightful, and sophisticated approach to the interpersonal issues involved in therapy that often can be used or misused in the therapeutic relationship. Both scholarly and practical, this book should be required reading for any therapist who wants to deepen the quality of the work that they do. There was much wisdom to be gained here. Bravo!"
Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., Director, American Institute for Cognitive Therapy, Past-President, Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies

Wow. When I read this book, I could not help but wish I had written it myself. Integrative, pragmatic, and authentic, DiMaggio manages to strike a balance between the flexible humanity of classical psychodynamic therapeutic approaches with the precision and incisiveness of modern technically driven manualized therapies. Both imaginative and directive simultaneously, metacognitive interpersonal therapy (MIT) preserves the humanistic spirit of a psychotherapeutic intervention which aims to heal the burden of early and current adversities that all people face when their personality problems cause them to trip and fall, from time to time throughout their life trajectory."
