PERSONALITY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
Treating the Whole Person
Jefferson A. Singer
Guilford Press, 2005
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The reader will learn key concepts and procedures of person-based psychotherapy; relational dynamics; narrative identity; and using this data for treatment planning and intervention with individuals or couples.
The book provides a framework for using recent advances in personality science to inform and enrich psychotherapy. The author demonstrates how multidimensional assessment within the context of a strong therapeutic alliance can serve as a guide to treating clients as multifaceted individuals, rather than simply treating symptoms or diagnoses. The concluding chapter features an extended case example illustrating the author's approach.
