Bøker av Jon G. (The Menninger Clinic) Allen

Solidly grounded in contemporary research, yet appealing to therapists who prioritize the patient-therapist relationship, Trusting in Psychotherapy presents psychotherapy as a craft, and embraces the developmental perspective that mastery is the work of a lifetime.

The essence of "plain old therapy," according to Jon G. Allen, is a mindful relationship between the patient and a trusted clinician who recognizes and understands the patient's trauma and connects with the nature and magnitude of his or her suffering.

The book is written in plain language for anyone seeking an in-depth understanding of depression, including patients, family members, and professionals. The book explains the neurobiology of depression, but puts it in a developmental perspective by showing how the illness often evolves from psychological and interpersonal stress over a lifetime.
