Emotions and Needs (Core Concepts in Therapy)

Aimed at students and clinicians, this text combines aspects of different therapeutic schools of thought into contemporary models of integrative psychotherapy which draw upon the transpersonal, postmodern, and poststructural. Freshwater and Robertson explore need and emotion in relation to what patients bring to therapy and what subsequently facilitates effective engagement in the therapeutic alliance. The authors are both registered psychotherapists working in Britain. Distributed in the U.S. by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
