Summary

"The Handbook of Contemporary Psychotherapy explores a wide range of constructs that are not captured in the DSM-IV-TR or traditional research but play important roles in psychotherapy cases. To provide readers with a tool bag of practical techniques they can use in these cases, editors William O'Donohue and Steven R. Graybar present chapters written by leading clinical authorities on such topics as the process of change in psychotherapy, attachment and terror management, projective identification, terminating psychotherapy therapeutically, shame and its many ramifications for clients, dream work, boundaries, forgiveness, the repressed and recovered memory debate, and many others. Each chapter includes a definition of the construct, along with sections on theory, the construct's possible roles in pathology and treatment, measurement, intervention strategies, case illustrations, and future research."--BOOK JACKET.
