Psychotherapy, like most other areas of health care, is a synthesis
of scientific technique and artistic expression. The practice, like
any other, is grounded in a series of standardized principles,
theories, and techniques. Individual practitioners define
themselves within the field by using these basic tools to achieve
their therapeutic goals in novel ways, applying these rudimentary
skills and guiding principles to each situation in new and exciting
ways. Effective work can only be accomplished through a synthesis
of the fundamental scientific methods and the creative application
of these techniques, approaches, and strategies.
In recognition of these two basic skill sets within the field, and
acknowledging that they are often taught exclusively of each other,
Dr. Hofmann and his co-editor have compiled a group of leading
therapists to give insight into the creative side to psychotherapy.
Central to this collection is the premise that a toolbox full of
treatment approaches, no matter how comprehensive, is not enough to
effectively reach your patients. The aim of this book is first to
address the fundamental split between the researchers and scholars
who use scientific methods to develop disorder-specific treatment
techniques and those more clinically inclined therapists who
emphasize the individual, interpersonal aspects of the therapeutic
process. Ad secondly, once this polarization of approaches is
clearly defined, contributors will systematically unearth and
explore the variety of unspecific, subtle factors in psychotherapy
that are often overlooked by even those therapists who are
conscious of interpersonal theories. 18 chapters are broken up into
three main sections, focusing on the client-therapist relationship,
models of therapeutic change, and more specific issues that arise
during therapy. Chapters will be written with a clear emphasis on
the practical relevance to therapy and will include many case
examples and excerpts of patient-clinician dialogues.
