How To Do Experiential Psychotherapy: A Manual for Practitioners

By Alvin R. Mahrer

This new and original manual provides a step-by-step explanation of the process of experiential psychotherapy, an intensive and powerful approach that offers the patient an opportunity to undergo deep-seated personality and behaviour changes in each session. Because each session proceeds through the same four steps, this therapy is appropriate for patients seen in a single session, in short-term, or in long-term therapy. It is appropriate for any patient who is ready and willing to carry out the four steps.
Designed for use by either beginning or experienced psychotherapists, the manual is complete in itself and requires no special background or training in experiential psychotherapy. It details the procedures and methods for each of the four steps, and provides numerous examples. It concludes with a series of useful guidelines to enable the practitioner to carry out the therapy effectively and completely, obtaining optimum results in each session.
