Emotion-Focused Therapy for Depression

Greenberg, LS and Watson, JC: 

American Psychological Association (APA)
Publication date:  2005

In this outstanding book, Greenberg and Watson continue the monumental task that Leslie Greenberg began many years ago of developing an emotion-focused approach to psychotherapy that is sophisticated, systematic, empirically supported and teachable. Although emotion-focused therapy has been applied successfully to a range of clinical problems in the past, this book is the first to spell out the theory and principles underlying its successful application to the treatment of depression. The approach offers a valuable, empirically supported alternative (or supplement) to cognitive therapy, and I predict that Emotion-Focused Therapy for Depression will have a major impact on the field.

Emotion-Focused Therapy: Coaching Clients to Work Through Their Feelings

By  Leslie S. Greenberg, PhD

337 Pages
Publication Date: December, 2001
ISBN: 1-55798-881-1
List Price: $39.95 USD

Summary

In Emotion-Focused Therapy: Coaching Clients to Work Through Their Feelings, Leslie S. Greenberg offers therapists an exciting new approach to helping clients live in harmony with head and heart. While most current books on coping emphasize mind over mood, and biological psychiatry offers psychotropic medication to regulate emotion, Greenberg proposes that, rather than controlling or avoiding emotions, clients can learn from their own bodily reactions and begin to act sensibly on them. Expressing emotion in ways that are appropriate to context is a highly complex skill, and one that is rarely taught. Rich in clinical wisdom, practical guidance, and case illustration, this book provides an empirically supported model of training clients to attain emotional wisdom.

"There is no doubt that Les Greenberg is both a pioneer and the field's premier investigator in the important work of apply ing the basic research on emotions to the process of psychotherapy. The focus on primary emotions and their change is what distinguishes this book. It is a fabulous compendium of strategies for working with emotions and draws from both behavioral and experiential therapies. A must' read."
-Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, University of Washington

"In a refreshing blend of clinical sensitivity and compelling research findings, the authors have done a masterful job of explaining why an emotion-focused intervention i s central to therapeutic change, and describing how this may be implemented clinically. Their lucid, jargon-free exposition of conceptual and therapeutic issues proves an invaluable resource for practicing therapists of any orientation. This indeed is a landmark contribution to the field."
-Marvin Goldfried, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, SUNY  Stony Brook

Summary

Working with Emotions in Psychotherapy illuminates the process and technique of intervention with specific emotions. The book shows clinicians how to identify a given emotion, discern its role in a client's self-understanding, and understand how its expression is furthering or inhibiting the client's progress toward the goals of therapy. Of vital importance, the authors help readers think more differentially about emotions; to distinguish, for example, between avoided emotional pain and chronic dysfunctional bad feelings, between adaptive sadness and maladaptive depression, and between overcontrolled anger and underregulated rage. A conceptual overview, intervention guidelines, and a wealth of case illustrative case examples are included, and special attention is given throughout to the integration of emotion and cognition in therapeutic work.

"An immensely valuable book that deserves to be read by psychotherapists of all persuasions. It is theoretically innovative and clinically practical."
- Michael J. Mahoney, PhD

"A very impressive book. It is practical, makes a significant contribution to theory building in psychotherapy, and is research based....contributes significantly to our und erstanding of the psychotherapy process. Readers with a hypnotherapeutic orientation, who traditionally explore with clients the domain where emotion, cognition, and behavior intersect, should find a treasure of concepts and practical interventions to extend their therapeutic repertoire."
- American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis

Summary

While emotions are often given a negative connotation people are described as being "too emotional" or as needing to "control their emotions" the authors of this volume argue that, to the contrary, emotions are organizing processes that enhance adaptation and problem solving. Within an experiential therapy framework, they show how to work with moment-by-moment emotional processes to resolve various psychological difficulties.

The first two sections of the book provide an introduction and lay the theoretical groundwork for the treatment manual that follows. The process experiential approach to treatment is presented, followed by an explication of the interrelationships among emotion, cognition, and change that results in a powerful, clinically relevant theory of human functioning. The third section, a detailed treatment manual, outlines the general principles and methods of therapy and provides step-by-step directions for six specific types of interventions. Excerpts from actual transcripts exemplify the various methods, illuminating the moment-by-moment process for both the client and the therapist.

Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples

by Leslie S. Greenberg, Susan M. Johnson
Guilford Press; ISBN: 0898627303

"A fascinating and powerful new approach to working with couples.... I am going to use this book whenever I teach courses on marital therapy."
-Neil S. Jacobson, PhD

Summary

This book demonstrates the power of emotional experience in relationships and how this power can be used to reconstruct intimate bonds. In emotionally focused couples therapy, intrapsychic and interpersonal perspectives are combined; interactional positions are assumed to be maintained by strong, primary, emotional responses and by the way interactions are structured and organized. Hence, the goal of emotionally focused therapy is to enable a couple to change the habitual positions they assume in relation to each other and to change the way each partner experiences the relationship.

 

   

Empathy Reconsidered : New Directions in Psychotherapy

Edited by Leslie S. Greenberg 

1997
Hardcover
477 Pages
List: $49.95

ISBN:  1-55798-410-7

Those psychologists who have adopted a manualized, technological, or "managed care" approach to their science have tried to downplay empathy as a key element in psychotherapy. Empathy is relegated to a useful background characteristic for building the therapeutic relationship, but it is often not understood as a vital therapeutic ingredient in its own right. Many clinicians do not seem to realize that the subject of empathy has generated novel perspectives and a healthy current research base.

The coeditors of Empathy Reconsidered: New Directions in Psychotherapy have chosen to buck this trend, bringing together a group of respected writers from a variety of perspectives who are making active contributions to the development of our understanding of what empathy is and how it operates in the therapy context. The contributors examine this therapeutic variable in a prism of theoretical perspectives, ranging from self psychology to psychodynamic, client-centered, experiential, feminist, humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, cross-cultural, postmodern, and developmental psychology. Moreover, this volume features heavy representation of the increasingly vital trend toward psychotherapy integration.

Although there are many unanswered questions about the role of empathy in psychotherapy, the present collection brings the reader up to date by comparing different operational definitions and by discussing the varieties of empathy and their hypothesized relationships to therapy process and outcome. Empathy Reconsidered should stand as a watershed in stimulating new research and more conscious use by therapists of empathy in working with their clients, and by providing state-of-the-art knowledge for improved training of therapists.

"A major shift has occurred in experiential therapy. This seminal text extends the work of Rogers and Perls and provides systematic interventions that target specific client problems. It provides the practicing therapist with a map, a rich theoretical base that emphasizes the client's potential for growth. It also offers specific guidelines for effective practice and clinical examples of tried and empirically tested interventions. This is a classic that will guide therapists for years to come."
-Susan M. Johnson, EdD, Professor of Psychology & Psychiatry, University of Ottawa, Canada

Summary

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.

The Working Alliance: Theory, Research and Practice

by Adam O. Horvath, Leslie S. Greenberg (Editor)
Hardcover - 304 pages 1 edition (March 30, 1994)
John Wiley & Sons; ISBN: 0471546402 ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.07 x 9.33 x 6.36

In the past decade, the working alliance has emerged as possibly the most important conceptualization of the common elements in diverse therapy modalities. Created to define the relationship between a client in therapy or counseling and the client's therapist, it is a way of looking at and examining the vagaries and expectations and commitments previously implicit in the therapeutic relationship, explaining the cooperative aspects of the alliance between the two parties.

Summary

The study of psychotherapy has often been limited to the ways in which cognitive and behavioral processes promote personal change. Introducing a ground breaking perspective, Greenberg and Safran's compelling new work argues that the presently-felt experience of emotional material in therapy forms a vital underpinning in the generation of change. By including emotion as a psychotherapeutic catalyst, the book offers a more complete and encompassing approach to the process of psychotherapy than has ever before been available.

The book draws from the literature of both clinical and experimental psychology to provide a critical review of theory and research on the role of emotion in the process of change. Providing a general theoretical framework for understanding the impact of affect in therapy, this unique volume describes specific change events in which emotions enhance the achievement of therapeutic goals. Case examples and extensive transcripts vividly portray a variety of affective modes--such as completing emotional expression, accessing previously unacknowledged feelings, and restructuring emotions--and illustrate in clear, practical terms how certain processes apply to particular patient problems. Moving beyond the standard approaches to therapy, this volume offers an integrated approach that carefully consider's the client's state in the session that must be amenable to intervention as well as any given intervention and its resulting changes.

 

Emotion, Psychotherapy, and Change

Edited by Jeremy D. Safran and Leslie S. Greenberg

372 Pages
Publication Date: 1991
ISBN: 0-89862-556-4
Cat. #2556
List Price: $42.95

Summary

Emotion, Psychotherapy, and Change represents a systematic attempt to map the various ways emotion influences the change process and to clarify the underlying mechanisms. A continuation of the editors' pioneering work, Emotion in Psychotherapy, this volume makes a significant contribution to the development of a transtheoretical approach to affective change events. Viewing emotional experience as an active ingredient in, rather than a by-product of, the change
process, the book explores the ramifications of this understanding for the conduct of therapy.

A thorough review of the theory and therapeutic implications of emotion in human functioning precedes chapters by representatives of three different therapeutic traditions: cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and experiential. Contributors identify and describe the key affective change events important in their respective approaches and then speculate about the underlying processes. Included here are detailed descriptions of relevant therapist-client interactions as well as clinical transcripts that vividly illustrate the process of change. A separate, theory-oriented commentary section follows in which the theme of emotion in psychotherapy is examined from the perspectives of cognitive psychology and emotion theory. A synthesis and critical analysis of affective change processes rounds out the volume.

"Needed by everyone doing research.... Immense benefit to all psychotherapists as well."
- American Journal of Psychiatry

Summary

This comprehensive volume represents the first state-of-the-art handbook to appear in the field of process research in over a decade. Updating and expanding upon Kiesler's groundbreaking work (1973), Greenberg and Pinsof present here the most systems for understanding the mechanisms of change in individual, group, and family treatment. Special attention is given to the role of the alliance between therapist and client. Emphasizing the impact that empirical investigations can make on practice, the Handbook presents a wide variety of up-to-date process research systems and consolidates methodological information in the field.

The first chapter by the editors provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art of process research. Subsequently, the book is divided into two major sections. The first part presents the major instruments in the field. Each chapter is a biography of a particular process analysis system and a useful mini-manual. Covering different therapeutic modalities and orientations, this section is divided into what have historically been called observational and self-report systems. Chapters on observational coding include at least one transcribed segment of an actual therapy session to illustrate the "lived reality"' of how the system operates.

The second section addresses methodological issues, illustrating how psychotherapy works. Focussing on two current research programs that use a wide variety of systems to capture the overall process of treatment, this section also presents a pioneering attempt to empirically identify phases of treatment. The final chapter delineates new strategies for research and highlights critical issues that must be addressed to explain how change takes place in therapy and how this relates to therapeutic outcome.

"One only has to experience this approach to know its effectiveness and see the remarkable therapeutic changes possible."
- John H. Gladfelter, PhD

Summary

This is the first practical book from an experiential perspective to deal explicitly with blocked affect. Based on the authors' extensive clinical experience and their NIMH-sponsored research, focused expressive psychotherapy (FEP) is shown to be ideally suited for the many over controlled patients mired in "unfinished emotional business."

A complete approach in one volume, the reader is given the underlying psychological assumptions of FEP as well as its principles, therapeutic procedures, and assessment techniques.

The book delineates the roles and responsibilities of both the therapist and client, presents FEP's five-step procedure, and describes its therapeutic methods and techniques. The design of experiments and problems are illustrated with segments from actual sessions, and evaluation procedures are provided so that both therapist and patient can assess the progress being made. Complete FEP sessions with explanatory comments are included so that the reader can follow the entire FEP process from the beginning to the end of the session.
