the Art of Psychotherapist

Unlike the brief, specific-solution oriented therapies that many people demand today, the goal of depth therapy is life change. James Bugental has been practicing, teaching and writing about depth therapy for 40 years, and in this book, he shares his experiences as a psychotherapist. This book is dedicated to the proposition that life-changing psychotherapy requires therapist and patient alike to give high priority to the subjective?he patient's first of all, the therapist's nearly as importantly. Bugental's purpose is not to create a new psychotherapeutic system or methodology, but to aid therapists of various orientations who intend doing depth, life-changing work to extend the range and power of their own perspectives and styles.
