Description

This is one of the few books available today to assist the reader in developing a comprehensive frame of reference for understanding the development and evolvement of an interactional view of the process of psychotherapy. In separate chapters devoted to the main contributors in this exciting field, the text informs the reader how the emphasis in psychotherapy gradually shifted from an orthodox traditional intra-psychic approach to an inter-psychic view, with emphasis on observable, tangible interaction between individuals in the here-and-now. The book also points out the valuable contribution of the post-modernistic development in the field of psychotherapy as well as its shortcomings and side-tracking of optimal therapeutic service rendering.
