The Missing Manual

Undiscovered treasures of psychotherapeutic practice. Unique as a textbook: vibrant practice instead of dull theory. Take the shortcut: how to find your psychotherapeutic identity faster. The book, particularly suitable for aspiring psychotherapists, is filled with experiences. Adler, a long-time psychoanalyst, teaching therapist, and supervisor, addresses questions that truly concern you during training and in everyday therapy. Questions about handling specific (exceptional) situations are the most frequently asked. Learn, for example, how to decelerate at high speed, apply the two-opinion method, or deal with half-truths in therapy. Discover how a healthy degree of selfishness can be beneficial in a therapeutic context. There is more than what therapists learn in their training. The book fills a gap left by conventional theory-heavy textbooks.
