A uniquely practical guide and widely adopted text, this book shows precisely what therapists can say at key moments to enhance the process of healing and change. Paul Wachtel explains why some communications in therapy are particularly effective, while others that address essentially the same content may actually be countertherapeutic. He offers clear and specific guidelines for how to ask questions and make comments in ways that facilitate collaborative exploration and promote change. Illustrated with vivid case examples, the book is grounded in an integrative theory that draws from features of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and experiential approaches.

Therapeutic Communication, Second Edition: Knowing What to Say When PDF

i read this book as a patient interested in contemporary psychoanalytic technique. I found it to be an excellent description of an empathic and detailed way of working. Wachtel's writing is always clear and to the point. His mantra is repeated constantly (one might even say it is a repetition compulsion): the analyst must respect and validate the patient's point of view, while encouraging exploration and ways to widen the scope of change. The therapist's efforts must never be "at cross purposes with those of the patient." His is a strong voice for the relational approach, rooted as always in rigorous scholarship...

By Learning Curve

Besides working out in the field, the best way to learn the nuts and bolts of psychotherapy is through this book. Wachtel is a gripping writer, no small compliment for the author of a textbook. And when you finish enjoying the ride, you will own the whys and hows of the most fascinating profession.
