Developed by renowned therapist and bestselling author Harville
Hendrix, PhD, Imago Therapy is a groundbreaking approach to working
with couples. The "Imago" is the unconscious image we hold of our
parents. According to Hendrix, people select their mates by seeking
"Imago matches"--individuals who resemble their parents in salient
ways. A couple's relationship dynamic is created and shaped as each
partner interacts with his or her Imago match, revisiting
unfinished or unresolved issues from childhood.
Based on the ideas popularized in Hendrix's New York Times
bestseller Getting the Love You Want, this is the first book to
systematically describe to mental health professionals the theory
and practice of Imago Therapy. Rick Brown, ThM, the Executive
Director of the Institute for Imago Relationship Therapy, reveals
the developmental and analytic underpinnings of the Imago approach,
and clearly demonstrates how to apply these principles in a
clinical setting. Drawing on a range of case studies, Brown shows
how to coach couples to work through their unresolved childhood
issues and toward a safe, passionate, and committed conscious
relationship.
The first clinical primer to this innova-tive approach to
couples therapy, "Imago Relationship Therapy" brings therapists a
comprehensive and practical exploration of one of the most talked
about approaches in the field.
"As a co-originator, with Helen Hunt, of the theory and
practice, I am delighted with the accuracy of the presentation and
feel gratified that it finally brings "Imago Relationship Therapy"
to the therapeutic community. I give it my full endorsement.
While other books have been written on application of IRT to
othercontexts and summary chapters have appeared in other books,
this is the first book-length primer to describe the general
practice of IRT with couples. Rick Brown is eminently qualified to
write this book. He has been a Certified Imago Therapist(r) for
nearly a decade, teaching the theory and practice to therapists
nationally and internationally, and he has been an able Executive
Director of the Institute for "Imago Relationship Therapy," I was
delighted to learn that he was invited by the publisher to expand
his public lectures into a book. Therapists who read it will get a
general overview of the metatheory, the clinical theory, and the
clinical practice of Imago Relationship Therapy. . . . It does
offer therapists who wish to become familiar with IRT an accurate
and clear guide to its theory and practice and, in addition, it is
an excellent review for Imago therapists." --Harville Hendrix, PhD,
from the Foreword.
