Integrating the work of leading client-centered, gestalt, interpersonal, focusing, and process-oriented therapists, Handbook of Experiential Psychotherapy covers both conceptual foundations and current treatment applications. Contributors present well-articulated approaches to treating depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other problems, emphasizing the need to work with the client’s own moment-by-moment experience of disturbing states and processes. The volume delineates a variety of experiential methods–from working with clients to symbolize bodily felt sense, evoke memories, and express intense feelings, to helping them reflect on their experience, maintain gains from session to session, and create new meanings for themselves. The role of the therapist’s relational stance in promoting particular emotional processes is also examined, and newly developed models of experiential diagnosis and case formulation are described.
