Riassunto

An experienced psychoanalyst and a child psychiatrist, father and son, with over eighty years of clinical experience between them, have culled out the best aspects of psychotherapy to produce a simple, practical, and effective program. Every therapeutic school has its theory and dogma.The Millers have attempted to move away from dogma and only include those elements of theory that have been well validated in their work with patients. Many aspects of therapy are discussed, including practical issues such as how to handle personal questions, social media, and gifts. Unintended consequences, dreams, and multiple ways to listen and respond are all examined. The central thesis is that the most important element of psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship, a thesis which is supported by decades of psychotherapy research. Fundamental to the Millers' approach is optimizing this relationship. Unlike other books, which emphasize conformity, the Millers' system will inspire therapists to appreciate and make use of the uniqueness of each therapeutic encounter.
