{"product_id":"redecision-therapy-a-brief-actionoriented-approach-9780765700438","title":"Redecision Therapy: A Brief  Action-Oriented Approach","description":"\u003cp\u003eEditor Carolyn Lennox characterizes the redecision therapist as a director in an improvisational theater. Guided by the clients personal contract for change  the therapist helps the client select and rewrite old scripts in which he or she was cast as victim. By keeping the dialogue moving and assisting the client in confronting negative messages  the therapist supports revision of the last act so that the self can be experienced as triumphant protagonist and the victory can be carried over into everyday life.  This compendium of contributions from twenty-two experienced redecision therapists first addresses issues of theory-how to negotiate a clear contract for change  how to identify client impasses  how to access the clients potential for creativity (what transactional analysis calls the \"natural child\")-and then illustrates applications of the theory in the treatment of depression  anxiety  bulimia  PTSD  and so forth in individuals and groups and in private  HMO  and hospital settings. Closing chapters discuss redecision therapy training and supervision.  The books thoroughly accessible approach to brief  action-oriented therapy will be welcomed by students and practitioners alike as what Dr. Lennox gracefully terms \"teachable and learnable magic.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651713097781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765700433","price":83.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765700438.jpg?v=1781838102","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/redecision-therapy-a-brief-actionoriented-approach-9780765700438","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
