Therapy Wars

This volume provides a forum for eminent clinicians of diverse persuasions to share, in ordinary language, their clinical formulations of and treatment plans for the same psychotherapy patient— one not selected or nominated by those therapists—and then to discuss points of convergence and divergence in their recommendations. Imagine! In each of nine chapters, a different panel of three or four distinguished psychotherapists consults on a patient’s case and subsequently tries to learn from colleagues on the panel. (425 pp.)

The Clinical Exchange

The psychotherapy integration movement has experienced dramatic and unprecedented growth. Clinicians of all persuasions are coming to acknowledge the inadequacies of any one theoretical system and the potential value of others.(27 pp.)

The Contention and Convergence in the Psychotherapies

Observing patterns in the nine clinical exchanges and interpreting their significance is at once exciting and daunting. We are excited by the rich insights of thirty-three clinicians, the remarkable amount of information, the vigor of the exchanges, and particularly the novelty of the entire enterprise. (34 pp.)

Casebook of Eclectic Psychotherapy

Eclecticism is the practice of selecting what seems best from various systems. The intent of these cases is to take the reader into the therapy session – to show what actually transpires, what the therapist is thinking, and how the patient is responding. The goal is to learn how interventions are matched to patients and problems, to relate process to outcome, and to discover the breadth of treatment procedures. (1004 pp.)

Preface

Introduction: Eclecticism, Casebooks, and Cases

The present chapter is intended to review the broad context of eclectic psychotherapy and to consider the role of this Casebook within the integrationist Zeitgeist. First, I outline several definitions and manifestations of eclecticism with particular emphasis on systematic prescriptive eclecticism. Second, the growing need for an appreciation of casebooks are briefly discussed. Third, I comment on the organization of the book and the preparation of the cases. Finally, several “growing pains” of eclecticism are explicated and a developmental understanding recommended. 47 pp.
