From a well-known pioneer in short-term psychotherapy and psychotherapy research, this examination of a symptom formation is set in the context of clinical practice. It does not rely upon patient recall of symptoms as data for treatment planning or research, but rather describes a data-gathering method for symptoms as they arise in fact, in the psychotherapy session. Theory, empirical research and applications to assessment and treatment are all covered with regard to problems such as phobias, depression and psychosomatic disorders, as well as more normative behaviours, such as laughing and forgetting. The book enables practitioners and researchers to re-examine some of the most important clinical material that patients present and to do so in creative ways that are adaptable to any theoretical or practice orientation.
