Like its celebrated predecessor, Principles of Psychotherapy, Second Edition offers therapists conceptually based guidelines for conducting effective psychotherapy. Dr. Weiner has rewritten his classic text in terms of clinical thinking and practice in the late 1990s. Within the framework of dynamic personality theory, this long-awaited Second Edition addresses the full range of basic issues in psychotherapy with a complete survey of its elements, processes, current treatment techniques, and phases. Writing with eloquent simplicity and citing hundreds of contemporary sources, Dr. Weiner presents the conceptual and empirical foundations that support his approach and offers helpful case examples that illustrate vividly what a therapist might say and do in various circumstances. Steeped in the latest research and attentive to practical concerns of the day, this new edition of Dr. Weiner's classic work is must reading for psychotherapists-in-training in all mental health professions.
