About Making Psychotherapy Work:
Collaborating Effectively with Your Patient:
The transformative
ingredient in psychotherapy is an uncanny, moving conjunctive experience in
which the patient and therapist are transformed. For this result, the most
profound connection between the two is required. Both need to be dedicated to
sorting out an abundance conflicting and confusing verbal and nonverbal
messages conveying what each needs and believes. The therapist's commitment
must be unwavering in his or her willingness to strive to develop the most
precise understanding and regard for the patient.
Making
Psychotherapy Work: Collaborating Effectively with Your Patient, brings
these principles to life. It describes a psychotherapy so deep-reaching and
engaging that neither participant, therapist, or patient can avoid being
influenced and intrinsically changed by the other.
Steve Frankel brings
this point of view to refinement in this, his newest book. Here the
conjunctive method is most fully evolved, providing a highly digestible
theoretical and practical framework for the practicing psychotherapist. Each of
Dr. Frankel's books, Intricate Engagements: The Collaborative Basis of
Therapeutic Change (Jason Aronson, 2004), Hidden Faults: Recognizing and
Resolving Therapeutic Disjunctions (Psychosocial Press [An offprint of
International Universities Press], 2000), and, now, Making Psychotherapy
Work: Collaborating Effectively with Your Patient (January 2007. Psychosocial
Press [An offprint of International Universities Press]), contribute to the
development of Frankel's highly effective and eminently usable portrayal of the
psychotherapy process.
