And in a major new contribution - Psychotherapy Isn't What You Think - he explains why it is necessary that psychotherapists redirect their attention from gathering information about the client to attending to the client's actual experiencing in the living moment.\nThis change in the focus of therapist concern, he asserts, enriches the work, as therapeutic partners discover what is most truly alive in their immediate engagement. In bringing this aspect to the fore, they can begin to identify ways in which it is part and parcel of the client's way of conducting life. The phenomenon of transference is a familiar one, but in this context, it gains greater power to bring about significant life changes.\nDr. Bugental's conception is basically simple; its application is more challenging. The author provides many clear examples of the idea in action and a vast array of practical tips for accessing the newfound productivity that this conception makes available. Drawing on more than three decades of teaching and practice, Dr. Bugental is careful to avoid becoming esoteric. He speaks directly to his readers, describing vividly \"what attending to the living moment\" means in actual therapy.\nPsychotherapy Isn't What You Think may just be the most important addition you make to your clinical perspective.\nPartial Contents\nWhat Is \"The Living Moment\"?\nLiving Is Only in the Now\nUnderstanding Searching and Concern\nThe Necessity for Space Suits\nLife Structures: Vital and Limiting\nDeveloping and Tuning the Third Ear\nA Client's Eye View\nRefining and Extending Therapist Artistry\nThe Experiencing-Centered Orientation\nLife Is Not What You Think\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1891944134\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1891944134.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bugental, James F.
