A book from the series Knowledge & Life, edited by Wulf Bertram. "Given the multitude of books on psychotherapy, one might wonder: Is another book on this topic necessary? After looking into this book, I believe the answer is: Yes!" Eckhard Roediger. Plenty of colorful experience instead of dull theory. Rarely has a book been written so consistently from practical experience: Dr. Grabe, head of a psychotherapy training institute and chief physician of a psychosomatic department, describes how experienced therapists work and how psychotherapy succeeds, far removed from any gray theory: - What processes initiate changes? - How do we arrive at models regarding the specific disorder of the patient? - What goes through the therapist's mind while speaking with the patient? A book for psychologists.
