Conceptually brilliant, clinically bold, and empirically persuasive, this book is pure Greenberg-perhaps today amp rsquo s most well-rounded and accomplished scholar, researcher, practitioner, and trainer in psychotherapy. - Louis G. Castonguay, PhD, Liberal Arts Professor of Psychology, Penn State University, University Park, PA In this book, Leslie Greenberg, one of the world amp rsquo s leading experts, presents a deep and insightful view of how to work with emotion in psychotherapy. This is a book for all practicing therapists, as well as for those who teach psychotherapy and those who do research on psychotherapy. The author presents a unique, research-based model of how working with emotion creates change. I particularly liked the chapters that dealt with therapist skills. It gives a sophisticated and insightful view of the roles of therapist empathy and self disclosure. It also includes important sections on dealing with culture and systemic racism. It will be useful to therapists of all persuasions. I plan to use it in my classes.<br />   - Arthur C. Bohart, PhD, Professor Emeritus, California State University Dominguez Hills Leslie Greenberg has long been a source of some of the most important and generative ideas in our field. At a time when psychotherapy is sometimes reduced to an arid overemphasis on cognition, Greenberg points our attention to experience and emotion. This book is rigorously grounded in research and amply filled with rich nuggets for the clinician. - Paul L. Wachtel, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Clinical Psychology, City College of CUNY, New York, NY

Mental health providers confront emotional suffering every day, yet working with emotion is rarely explicitly taught in clinical graduate programs. There is evidence that emotional experience in therapy relates to therapy outcome across multiple diagnoses. This research has given rise to strategies that address the core maladaptive processes that cause distress and dysfunction, rather than specific diagnoses.

This book presents principles and methods for working with emotion in psychotherapy to target the internal mechanisms that underlie anxiety, depression, and other common clinical disorders. Chapters in this volume focus on methods that help clients with all types of disorders to amp ldquo arrive at, amp rdquo or fully experience, their painful maladaptive emotions, and then amp ldquo leave amp rdquo these emotions by accessing new, adaptive emotions. These methods include helping clients sit with painful feelings, access bodily felt experience, identify unmet needs, and articulate the meaning of an emotion. Excerpts of moment-to-moment clinical dialogue demonstrate techniques such as memory reconsolidation, providing corrective emotional experiences, chair work, and imaginal reentry to past situations.

These methods include helping clients sit with painful feelings, access bodily felt experience, and articulate the meaning of an emotion.
