This handbook offers therapists an approach to helping clients live in harmony with head and heart. Leslie Greenberg proposes that, rather than controlling or avoiding emotions, clients can learn from their own bodily reactions and begin to act sensibly on them. Expressing emotion in ways that are appropriate to context is a highly complex skill. Offering clinical wisdom, practical guidance and case illustration, the volume presents an empirically-supported model of training clients to attain emotional wisdom.

My emotional response to reading this says it worth it!

ByJohn Loppnowon October 16, 2002

Format: Hardcover

I learned about Leslie Greenberg in graduate school from someone who studied with him for a week in Canada. What I learned that quarter was simply profound. Now I have many of Leslie Greenberg's profound thoughts here in my hands.

A great thing about this book is that I can recommend it to my friends who have not studied psychology or pscyotherapy and they have access to the material for themselves and those that they teach. The great thing about this book is that it can be used in many different arenas. Certainly therapy, but also in your own relationships (marriages, parents & children) and in situations where you may want to teach about emotion (work, church, school, etc). I have already recommended this book to a friend of mine who is a pastor in Northern California.
Definately worth the investment!
I believe that all who read it have the opportunity to grow in their emotional wisdom.

awesome book for emotion focused therapy

ByJ. VanEngelenhovenon October 15, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I just finished my master's degree in marriage and family therapy. I bought this book because I really like the emotionally focused theories and wanted to get more in-depth with them than what was taught in our classes. This book changed the way I do therapy and helped me to be a better therapist and a better person. It was very helpful for many types of clients from anxiety to depression, couples work to family therapy. I highly recommend it.

The Seminal Text of EFT

ByDavid M. Bellon April 21, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is the third book by Dr Greenberg I own and I wish I would've read it first. His other more recent book on EFT: Learning Emotion Focused Therapy is much more about the moment by moment process of EFT itself and follows this book nicely.
I'm a psychotherapist who became a therapist to specificaly ride the new wave of trauma-focused and experiential psychotherapies out there such as SE, EMDR, EFT, AEDP, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and so on. I am currently being trained in AEDP which is a phenomenal experiential therapy with early roots in ISTDP but in practice is significantly more like EFT than anything else. The main difference is that attachment theory is more explicit.
While I love Dr. Fosha's works, I have found that EFT is really the foundation I need to work from to learn AEDP. Dr. Fosha's work is really EFT taken in an original direction. Reading this book, I'm filling in the blanks of many techniques and ideas in AEDP that can be difficult to make full sense of without a dept of knowledge of EFT.

This specific book is my favorite out of Greenberg's more recent works. I find it a highly confident and accessible seminal text in working with emotions in psychotherapy. Every page of this book provides knowledge that is highly applicable towards practice. Being a psychotherapy researcher, Dr. Greenberg is an expert on the nuts and bolts of what causes change in therapy and it shines through all over the book.

Therapy is just significantly more rewarding working with affective experience than simply working in a more cognitive or behavioral manner. I didn't become a therapist to help people think more rationally or teach a few coping skills, I am passionate about coaching others to live fuller, more rewarding lives. With this book and anything by Dr. Greenberg and colleagues you can do this in your practice!

Excellent book. Brilliant summary by the author of the therapy itself. APA publishings of these books are always quite excellent. I got a great base understanding from this book of EFT and that is the therapy style I am going to pursue. I had to make a presentation on EFT in one of my grad classes and my teacher, after seeing the book, decided to buy as copy as well.

Great read for in intro to EFT

ByJonathan Weingardenon July 16, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great book, clearly written, more organized / less of 'cowboy' than Fritz Perls (Gestalt Therapy). As a left handed, right brain, musician who is clearly a non-linear thinker, I particularly enjoyed the discussion of the importance of non-linear implicit aspects of psychology. However, as a therapist with a background in psychodynamic psychology, I found it hard to believe there is not a "self" in the way cognitive and dynamic theorist describe. Les Greenberg discusses how people develop emotional schemes and other schemas, but believes our experience of the self arises from the interaction between emotional schemes and implicit narratives created by past experiences. He seems to imply we do not have a set of self-schemas, but rather our self-concept is re-created over and over and over each time certain emotions and narratives are elicited from external stimuli. However, this notion seems to me logically challenged the the mere fact we can self-reflect, and reflect on past self-reflecting we have done: if I can recall me self-image from yesterday, then I have a memory of self-images and self-narratives that do in fact create a self-schemas independent, but in constant interaction with, emotional-schemas, other schemas, and narratives. I've found the most effective approach with many of my patients is understanding various self-schemas, particularly how split or incongruent ones clash, and work through those clashes toward integration using Emotion-Focused (or experiential/Gestalt) approaches to therapy. Consequently, I do not think the existence of self precludes the remainder of the theory behind EFT, but rather the integration of the two is most effective. In fact, Fritz Perls main focus was integrating splits in the self, part of which was usually projected and thereby prohibiting the individual from being a whole / holon / completing a Gestalt. The person would be left in an impasse. Thus the self and emotional experience seem to go hand in hand to me.

Comprehensive and Relative

ByRandall W Russellon March 29, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The text is, at times, complex and dense. As is the subject matter. The base premises are re-distillations of Jung, Adler, and Plato, and a worthy contribution to that thread, at an abstract level. At the pragmatic level, some key items are left undervalued, like the processes of initiating the two or empty-chair dialogue. Excellent summary of the cause, effect, and differentiation of emotion as both a symptom based responding organic process, and a dynamic experience of meaning.
