Interpersonal Process in Cognitive Therapy
This volume is a poignant rejoinder to those who believe cognitive-behavioral therapies lack emotional immediacy or fail to utilize the therapeutic relationship. It defines a cognitive-behavioral approach to interpersonal issues that employs a sharp focus on therapist-patient interactions. (Aaron T. Beck)Safran and Segal have written an important and timely book. Equally at home in cognitive and interpersonal psychotherapy, they contribute significantly to the growing rapprochement between two major theoretical orientations and sets of techniques. Forward-looking theorists, therapists, and researchers are becoming united in assigning centrality to the therapeutic relationship and the experiential aspects of all therapeutic approaches. This excellent book clearly contributes materially to progress in this area. (Hans Strupp)--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
