Description - Treating Affect Phobia by Leigh McCullough
This hands-on manual teaches the nuts and bolts of practising short-term dynamic psychotherapy, the research-supported model first presented in "Changing Character", Leigh McCullough's foundational text. Reflecting the ongoing evolution of the approach, the manual emphasizes "affect phobia", or conflict about feelings. It shows how such proven behavioural techniques as systemic desensitization can be applied effectively within a psychodynamic framework, and offers clear guidelines for when and how to intervene. Demonstrated are procedures for assessing patients, formulating core conflicts and restructuring defences, affects and relationship to the self and others. Featuring a wealth of case examples, the book also includes many write-in exercises to help therapists build and practise key skills. It is an invaluable clinical resource and an ideal tool for teaching and training.
