This review is from: Learning Emotion-Focused Therapy: The Process-Experiential Approach to Change (Hardcover)

This is a great follow-up to the Process-Experiential book "Facilitating Emotional Change". Well written, and user-friendly, this manual helps to make this approach usable. A therapy book that isn't too theory oriented, which is refreshing.

I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to experiential and emotion focused approaches, August 18, 2007

This review is from: Learning Emotion-Focused Therapy: The Process-Experiential Approach to Change (Hardcover)

This book is a great first read for anyone interested in emotion-focused therapy or experiential therapies in general. It could also be a good read for more intermediate to advanced therapists newer to this area of therapy. It gives some good background on humanistic approaches to therapy and how this approach fits into the larger therapy landscape. The book does a good job of giving just enough theory to tie together the very practical and accessible style in which it is written. Highly recommended. There are suggestions for many further readings at the end of each chapter, which is a useful resource for those looking to delve deeper.

This review is from: Learning Emotion-Focused Therapy: The Process-Experiential Approach to Change (Kindle Edition)

A very good book and the worst possible kindle edition. The problem? Well, imagine that you would like to read that bit in chapter five that you liked so much. Because there is no links in the table of contents you have to go manually through all the pages until you arrive to the desired bit. Image you would like to review a procedure again you have to go there manually. What is the purpose of having a kindle edition if it does work properly? AVOID THE KINDLE EDITION AND BUY A HARD COPY.
