Facilitating Emotional Change

Mehr zum Buch

While emotions are often given a negative connotation--people are described as being ``too emotional'' or as needing to ``control their emotions''--the authors of this volume argue that, to the contrary, emotions are organizing processes that enhance adaptation and problem solving. Within an experiential framework, they show how to work with moment-by-moment emotional processes to effect shifts in meaning and resolve various psychological difficulties. Illuminated by clinical transcripts, general theoretical principles and six methods of intervention are described in detail.
