Wonderfully readable,thoughtful,humane,down-to-earth 5 out of 5 stars.
17 of 17 people found this review helpful.

Dr. Levenson's masterful didactic style reveals the elegance and simplicity of the time-limited dynamic model. The book provides moment-to-moment details of patient-therapist interactions and gives the reader a learning experience of remarkable immediacy. Dr. Levenson's clinical savvy and sophistication are evident on every page. Highly recommended for any clinician, regardless of orientation; you will find this highly readable, jargon-free presentation of time-limited dynamic psychotherapy an invaluable resource. A "must read" for clinicians who want to make every session count without sacrificing depth

Editorial Review:

Ten years ago, Hans Strupp and Jeffrey Binder's Psychotherapy in a New Key introduced a powerful, empirically tested model of brief psychotherapy that has proven highly successful and changed the practice of psychotherapy forever. But until now, there has been no follow-up publication to make the model come alive. With this book, Hanna Levenson draws on her extensive experience with time-limited dynamic psychotherapy to let readers see the therapy in action. Time-limited dynamic psychotherapy provides a state-of-the-art model of treatment that incorporates current developments in psychoanalytic, interpersonal, object-relations, and self psychology theories, as well as cognitive-behavioral and systems approaches. This flexible approach to brief therapy is designed to treat people with long-standing dysfunctional relationships. This book emphasizes identification of interpersonal difficulties and teaches a method of focusing therapy that is behaviorally based and explicit.

Classic 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent book. I was given this book by my father at a very young age and it has helped to form my view of the world and how it works. Although dated in some aspects, if you read it from the perspective of "what rings true for me" and take that with you it will serve you well.

The real Secret before The Secret 5 out of 5 stars.

This book has been around a long time. This is a classic book that explains how our thinking creates our reality. Just change your thinking if you want to be a different person, create better health, create wealth, create greatness. It will inspire you and help you understand that most of our shortcomings are our own thinking.

Practical strategies very useful 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

well-organized, practical approach is very goal-oriented. with insurance companies, EAPs, etc. what they are, this book offers some guidelines for getting a lot done in a short time. case examples illustrative. great section on what to do with patients who are defining someone else as the problem.

Remains one of the best texts 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book, which was published in 1992, remains on the best texts on the solution-focused approach (along with Interviewing for Solutions it is one of my favorites). Like many other students of the solution-focused approach I have returned time and again to this book. It superbly reflects the solution-focused approach as it has developed originally.

Editorial Review:

A practical guide to becoming solution-focused and construction solutions in brief therapy. At the core of the book is a sequence of skill-building chapters that cover all aspects of construction solutions. Each chapter explains and demonstrates a particular skill with discussion and exercises.

a very solid and interesting text 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

i think this is the most interesting psych text i have read. i got it for a 4 week online class and had to read it cover to cover in less than a month. it was easy to read and has review sections within the chapter to make sure you are getting the information, and the author has a lovely sense of humor. I would reccommend this book very highly. the research is current and sound and he gives many perspectives on the same issues. there are some issues i had with how he organizes information, because it can be a bit confusing how he goes from general to specific then changes topics completely, but how else are you going to cover everything? Love the format, get the study guide too if you can.

Editorial Review:

David Myers’s bestselling brief text has opened millions of students’ eyes to the world of psychology.  Through vivid writing and integrated use of the SQ3R learning system (Survey, Question, Read, Rehearse, Review), Myers offers a portrait of psychology that captivates students while guiding them to a deep and lasting understanding of the complexities of this field.

Good Existential Psychology Introduction 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Rollo May provides in this book a good introduction to existential psychotherapy. He clearly introduces the central concepts of existentialism and provides wonderful insight into human beings from that perspective. What makes this book especially appealing is the fact that May writes in an incredibly readable manner about sometimes quite obtuse information. I recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about existentialism, existential psychology, and, in particular, existential psychotherapy.

Mediocre at best 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 12 people found this review helpful.

Although Rollo May is a celebrated existential author, I found this book to be tedious. Since I was hoping that there would be a good section on the clinical application of existentialism, I was sorely disappointed to find out that there was only 20 pages dedicated to the issue. Not only that, the section did not include any examples of commonly used existential techniques. The section on the history of existential psychology was somewhat interesting. Overall, however, I rate this book mediocre at best.

Editorial Review:

This text draws on the insights of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud and other important thinkers to offer a guide to the ideas and techniques of existential psychology. It pays particular attention to the causes of loneliness and isolation and to the search for stability in an age of anxiety.

Editorial Review:

The goal of an "integral psychology" is to honor and embrace every legitimate aspect of human consciousness under one roof. This book presents one of the first truly integrative models of consciousness, psychology, and therapy. Drawing on hundreds of sources--Eastern and Western, ancient and modern--Wilber creates a psychological model that includes waves of development, streams of development, states of consciousness, and the self, and follows the course of each from subconscious to self-conscious to superconscious. Included in the book are charts correlating over a hundred psychological and spiritual schools from around the world, including Kabbalah, Vedanta, Plotinus, Teresa of Ávila, Aurobindo, Theosophy, and modern theorists such as Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Jane Loevinger, Lawrence Kohlberg, Carol Gilligan, Erich Neumann, and Jean Gebser. Integral Psychology is Wilber's most ambitious psychological system to date, and it is already being called a landmark study in human development.

Understand yourself. 5 out of 5 stars.
51 of 52 people found this review helpful.

In 1904 a little book was written called As a Man Thinketh. This book is a rewriting of that classic by the grandson of the original author. It is not just a self-help book, a self-empowerment, but a truth that will grip your heart. Each of us has tracks that we play in our minds, things spoken over us in our youth, by parents, teachers, coaches and friends. We have believed these things and lived by them. This book reminds us that what we believe in our minds and hearts will live out in our flesh. It will help us understand that all we achieve or fail to achieve is first a perception in our minds.

Politically Correct Version 4 out of 5 stars.
26 of 27 people found this review helpful.

In this edition of "As a Man Thinketh," Marc Allen (no relation to author James Allen), neuters the male overtones by replacing all references to "man" (which I always interpreted as "humanity," not a male or female) with the more sensitive third person and he/she variations. Somehow the statement "as a man thinketh, so is he," does not translate well to "as a person thinketh, so is she or he."

Marc Allen points out that in the Buddhist tradition, a book opens with a poem. If the reader can understand the poem, he or she has grasped the meaning of the book, and need not read the entire book. Here is James Allen's opening poem:

Mind is the master power that molds and makes,
And we are mind, and evermore we take
the tool of thought,and shaping what we will,
Bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills.
We think in secret,and it comes to pass--
Our world is but our looking glass.

Thoreau said something similar in a shorter version where he alludes to how the mind of man can create a heaven or hell for itself.

Editorial Review:

James Allen's foremost philosophy is that the key to personal power lies within the mind. His book shows the way to unlock the greatest success imaginable and proves that truth can free us from self-imposed limitations.
