Therapeutic Relationship in Psychotherapy Practice - An Integrative Perspective (Gelso Charles J.)(Paperback / softback)

The Therapeutic Relationship in Psychotherapy Practice: An Integrative Perspective explores the key components of the patient-therapist relationship in psychotherapy as well as how these elements affect the treatment process and outcomes, and what therapists may do to enhance the relationship. Dr. Gelso posits a tripartite model interlocking elements: a real or personal relationship, a working alliance, and a transference-counter transference configuration that exist in each and every therapeutic relationship. Focusing on what psychotherapists can do to foster strong and facilitative relationships with their patients, the book includes substantial material drawn from clinical practice, with an ever-present eye on research findings.
