Constructive Psychotherapy: Theory and Practice

New in paperback. An invaluable teaching text and clinical resource, this is a book about how to do psychotherapy - how to apply the science of change, to the complexities of helping people develop new meanings in their lives. Explaining constructivist principles and illuminating what a skilled clinician actually does in day-to-day practice, Michael J. Mahoney shows how to nurture the therapeutic relationship while implementing such creative interventions as: centering techniques, problem solving, pattern work, meditation and embodiment exercises, drama and dream work, and spiritual exploration. Appendices feature reproducible client forms, handouts, and other useful materials. Originally published in hardback with the title 'Constructive Psychotherapy: A Practical Guide'.
