The Focusing Institute , New York. 400,000 copies in print in ten languages. This is the original book that made Focusing available to the public. It breaks Focusing into six steps and has many examples. Many people give this little book to their friends as gifts.
Therapists often keep copies in their waiting rooms to give to clients.
This is a good beginning introduction to the process. This slender volume is the culmination of Ann Weiser Cornell's search for a way that many people find easy to understand and follow, with many examples, sections on typical problems and questions, how to Focus alone and also how to work with a partner, and how to bring Focusing into a therapy setting from the point of view of the therapist or the client. Widely used by Focusing teachers for beginning and intermediate classes throughout the US and internationally. Includes exercises, key phrases for self-guiding, advanced techniques, and charming illustrations by Mary Ferris. Dr. Cornell's specialty is precision of language in the service of facilitating Focusing.
