Making Room For The Disavowed Reclaiming The Self In Psychotherapy | Psychology

In this uniquely integrative book Paul L. Wachtel describes powerful clinical strategies to make roomfor aspects of the self that were sidetracked in the course of development. Wachtel explores how early attachment experiences can lead people to turn away from certain thoughts and feelings building a sense of self and ways of interacting on only a limited range of adaptive resources. His approach draws on psychodynamic humanistic systemic and acceptance-centered cognitive-behavioral perspectives as well as attention to the impact of race class and culture. Filled with rich case material the book illuminates how a therapeutic approach anchored in the present can help heal the wounds of the past.
