The Transforming Power Of Affect: A Model For Accelerated Change

The Transforming Power Of Affect: A Model For Accelerated Change by Fosha, Diana. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780465095674.

A groundbreaking examination of the transformational power of affect and a technique for harnessing it in the psychotherapeutic setting The first model of accelerated psychodynamic therapy to make the theoretical why as important as the formula for how, Foshas original technique for catalyzing change mandates explicit empathy and radical engagement by the therapist to elicit and harness the patients own healing affects. Its wide-open window on contemporary relational and attachment theory ushers in a safe, emotionally intense, experience-based pathway for processing previously unbearable feelings. This is a rich fusion of intellectual rigor, clinical passion, and practical moment-by-moment interventions.
