Review
------
"This work is an extraordinary synthesis of depth and
practicality. It is as clear, concrete, and richly exampled a
manual as I have seen, yet it depicts not a simple or
mechanistic therapy but one that goes to the very heart of human
feeling and experience. Incorporating a profoundly integrative
vision, Treating Affect Phobia will be of great value not only to
psychodynamically oriented therapists but to anyone in the field
who appreciates the accumulating evidence for the central role of
affect--and fear of affect--in our lives."--Paul L. Wachtel, PhD,
Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, City College and the
CUNY Graduate Center, New York
"This is the training manual that teachers and practitioners of
short-term dynamic therapy have been eagerly anticipating. It is
the first psychodynamically oriented volume that expertly guides
the novice through emotion-focused, time-sensitive psychotherapy
in an explicit, step-by-step fashion. The manual is enhanced by
very useful exercises that allow therapists to try out their
interventions and compare them to the authors' expert responses.
This volume represents a new and exciting development in the
teaching, learning, and practice of psychodynamic/integrative
therapy in general, and brief psychotherapy in
particular."--Stanley B. Messer, PhD, Dean, Graduate School of
Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University
"This is a manual with a number of fabulous
characteristics: it takes the astute clinical observations of
psychodynamic therapists and sets them within modern principles
of learning and behavioral change; it draws from the best of the
behavior therapy s for phobias; it is beautifully clear
and easy to follow; and it has comprehensive learning exercises
at the end of each chapter to help the clinician actually learn
how to apply the in clinical practice. I plan to have
my students read it."--Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, Department of
Psychology, University of Washington
"This carefully reasoned and researched manual starts with the
simple assumption that many people are afraid of their own
emotions, offers easy ways to identify whatever is being
expressed or even suppressed, and explains clearly the authors'
suggestions for ."--Donald L. Nathanson, MD, The Silvan

Behavior, Jefferson Medical College
