In this innovative book, the authors set out their theory of
Self-in-Relationship Psychotherapy (SIRP), advocating for the
integration of relational, self, and physical intimacy needs in the
conceptualization and treatment of psychological problems, placing
human needs at the center of treatment. This marks a shift in how
psychological and relational problems are understood, currently
being perceived in terms of affects, cognitive processes and
behaviors. Using numerous illustrations from their own clinical
practice, Meier and Boivin contend that this understanding
overlooks the pivotal role that needs play in all aspects of
peoples' personal lives and relationships. Children, adolescents,
and adults do not live primarily from feelings and thoughts, but
from basic psychological and relational, needs such as wanting to
be in a meaningful relationship, having the autonomy and freedom to
make decisions about their lives, experiencing being competent,
being regarded as a significant and important person, and
experiencing emotional, intimate, and sensual and/or sexual
connections. By taking such an approach this book stands out among
other books on psychotherapy theories. Authored by two seasoned
psychologists who have provided therapeutic services to children,
adolescents, and adults for 40 years, this book comprises the
foundational theory for practicing Self-in-Relationship
Psychotherapy, making it of interest to graduate students,
clinicians in training, and practicing psychologists, social
workers, and psychotherapists alike.
