Contexts and Connections: An Intersubjective Systems Approach to Couples Therapy

AUTHOR Shaddock, David
PUBLISHER Basic Books (07/14/2000)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description
Shaddock makes sense of intersubjectivity, the functional paradigm shift in highbrow psychotherapy, as both a way of thinking about our psychological lives and a way of doing clinical work. Applying it to relational systems means investigating the experience of each partner/ member from inside his/her perspective and without judgment.The book illustrates how that approach lowers defenses and lets in insights, mutual understanding, and renewed hope; it demonstrates that treatment built on empathic awareness of contexts and connections can actually also lead to individual transformation.
