Author(s) : Leslie S. Greenberg, Author(s) : Michael A. Tompkins, Author(s) : Norka Malberg

Reviews and Endorsements

It is all too common in academia for differences to be expressed vociferously, where the worthy aim of genuine dialogue becomes displaced or abandoned. In contrast, this volume places three psychotherapy orientations in conversation, exploring differences clearly, thoughtfully, and with no rancor. Graduate students and early career professionals will find that this book challenges the inevitable biases of their education. Even the most seasoned practitioner will be stimulated to transcend facile ways of characterizing these psychotherapeutic approaches.

This book fills two gaps in the literature. First, it offers a rich and nuanced account of the role of emotions in the psychological therapies, showing how central they are to the way we work. Second, it offers a rare example of dialogue between different therapy traditions. With intriguing clinical examples, the authors highlight what the traditions share, as well as what is specific to each.

At the cutting edge of the psychotherapy integration movement, this book summarizes psychodynamic, cognitive behavior, and emotion-focused work in historical context; the authors' comparisons and contrasts are incisive, original, and thought-provoking. Students and new clinicians will appreciate the verbatim clinical material, while experienced therapists will benefit from the theoretical clarity and comprehensiveness.
