Full Description
A therapy pioneer draws connections between his life and his transformational approach to psychotherapy.
The question of whether emotion-focused skills is an inborn talent or can be acquired through learning is an intriguing one. On Becoming Emotion Focused attempts to answer that question - whether such attunement is a product of nature (implicit learning) or nurture (explicit learning) while also illustrating, through the unraveling of author Les Greenberg's personal experiences, how people can best learn to become emotion focused.
For Les Greenberg, becoming emotion focused was a theoretical, scientific, and personal journey. The development of a therapeutic manner and skill was far more subjective than the conceptual development of the theory, and involved many individual threads of experience, some explicit, some implicit. In this book, he delves into the core aspects of how he became an emotion-focused psychotherapist, with attempts to make visible what threads informed the development of this approach to theory and practice.
The evolution of the theory and practice of emotion-focused therapy (EFT) has been interwoven with Les' life context and personal development, and it has been a delicate balance to give appropriate weight to each. This book is a unique contribution to the field in revealing the contribution of the theorist's life to the development of a major theory and practice in psychology. EFT, perhaps more than any other approach, best exemplifies how the implicit and explicit forces blend together to create holistic understanding.
