Produktbeschreibung

This introductory text provides an invaluable and accessible overview of the rapidly developing field of integrative psychotherapy, and offers a relational-developmental approach to theory and practice.

The book goes beyond the confines of the therapy room and explores the significance of the cultural, ecological and transpersonal dimensions of therapy by critiquing the philosophical bases underpinning the theoretical model and looking at the nature of resistance in different phases of therapy.

This textbook is essential to students needing a comprehensive introduction to integrative psychotherapy and will also be of interest to the seasoned practitioner.
