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.

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.

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.

This book combines a nice review of the theory in simple terms and a thorough guide on how to do PE-EFT. The original book, "Facilitating emotional change" was a breakthough, but one probably needed some background on Gendlin's experiential approach to be able to implement PE as described there. "Learning Emotion-Focused Therapy" is a great book for people new to experiential therapies in general. I also like the answers to many practical questions, and the help it provides on how to implement this experiential approach in a mental health culture that is often not in sync with its principles.
