convinced That Depression Can Be Treated With Therapy Rather Than Just Held In Stasis For The Eternal Profit Of Drug Companies, Greenberg (psychology, York U., Toronto) And Watson (adult Education, Community Development, And Counseling Psychology; U. Of Toronto) Present A Treatment Approach That Focuses Primarily On Intervening At The Emotional Level Of The System. Occurring As It Does As The Interface Between Body And Mind, They Say, This Level Is Highly Influential And Able To Affect The System As A Whole In Important Ways.

description:this Book Seeks To Make This Theory Of Intervention More Practical To Clinicians Who May Only Be Familiar With It From An Academic Standpoint.
purpose:the Authors Wish To Illustrate The Utility And Efficacy Of Emotion-focused Therapy (emt) To Clinicians Who May Be Accustomed To Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (cbt). The Book Contrasts The Two Schools Of Thoughts And Does A Good Job Of Describing How Emt And Cbt Can Be Used In Complimentary Ways.
audience:this Well Written Book For Clinicians Contains Some Very Eloquent Descriptions Of Emotions And Their Processes.
features:the Book Covers A Lot Of Territory, From Definitions Of Basic Emotions, To Explanations Of Current Theories And A Very Comprehensive Description Of The Process Of Utilizing Eft. In Its Specific Descriptions Of Eft And Its Principles And Interventions, The Book Can Feel Rather Academic, But There Are Ample Case Illustrations That Assist Clinicians In Grasping The Finer Points.

In Emotion-Focused Therapy for Depression , Leslie S. Greenberg and Jeanne C. Watson, well-regarded scholars and leading figures in the field, provide a manual for the emotion-focused treatment (EFT) of depression. This approach is supported by studies in which EFT for depression was compared with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and then both. The approach has been refined to apply specifically to the treatment of this pervasive and often intractable disorder. The authors discuss the nature of depression and its treatment, examine the role of emotion, present a schematic model of depression and an overview of the course of treatment, and suggest who might benefit. Written with a practical focus rather than the more academic theoretical style of previous books that established the theoretical grounds and scientific viability of working with emotion in psychotherapy, this book aims to introduce practitioners to the idea of using this approach to work with a depressed population. The book covers theory, case formulation, treatment, and research in a way that makes this complex form of therapy accessible to all readers. Particularly valuable are the case examples, which demonstrate the deliberate and skillful use of techniques to leverage emotional awareness and thus bring about change.
