Treating Affect Phobia: A Manual for Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy 1st Edition

This is without a doubt the clearest book I have ever read about how to understand and formulate psychodynamic conflict, and how to address it in psychotherapy. Integrating elements of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal models, the manual is at once respectful of clients and a very good "how-to" for therapists at any level. It is deceptively simple, in that appears to be for those new to the field, but in fact it is astute and complex.

This book is an excellent book both for the novice as well as for the seasoned clinician. The assessment forms you can download from the website are an excellent way to indicate preliminary diagnosis and a guide for informing treatment.I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Good guide for treating people who have difficulty being aware of, in experiencing and processing of emotions.

I'm a psychology student and this book has deepened my appreciation of psychodynamic litterature all the while keeping the jargon accessible and precise.

The book Treating Affect Phobia arrived promptly. It was certainly as crisp as a book just off the printing press!

I haven't even gotten near to finishing this book yet because I'm stopping to highlight, absorb, and reread almost every page. Great source of learning, and has been immensely helpful in my therapeutic work!

The best how to work book on short term dynamic therapy skills, combined with her book Creating Change, one can only advance therapeutic skills by leaps and bounds.

Easy to read format. I learned a lot within the first two chapters. The exercises at the end of each chapter are helpful too.
