What it is
First published in 1987, this book by Greenberg and Safran brings together clinical and experimental psychology to discuss emotion in psychotherapy.
What it covers
The publisher describes a theoretical framework for affect and change, with case examples and transcripts. The authors discuss different ways of attending to emotion in therapy alongside cognitive and behavioural approaches.
Research and practice
The book presents a clinical account of how emotion may be involved in change. Its clinical examples illustrate the authors’ approach; they do not show that any one method or sequence is necessary for every person.
