Experiential Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy: a Manual Ferruccio Osimo

Take your feelings and fly! This is the spirit of the present E-STDP manual. Psychotherapists are shown how the visceral experience of hitherto unconscious feelings can be brought about in the here and now of the session and used therapeutically. Special emphasis is given to the techniques, i.e. how to operate and when to use which type of therapeutic activity, according to the moment-to-moment feedback coming from the patient. The book is meant for psychotherapists and other mental health professionals, wishing to upgrade their skills in the experiential and relational techniques, capable of accelerating the process of dynamic change. The detailed description of two cases, from initial evaluation to 2-year follow-up, will arouse the interest of all those who are fascinated by human life-stories.
