Description

Characterological Transformation: The Hard Work Miracle by Stephen M. Johnson offers a groundbreaking approach to understanding human behavior and character development.

This innovative book integrates object relations theory, ego psychology, and character analytic approaches to provide a new perspective on psychopathology, therapy, and health. Johnson presents an active treatment approach that draws upon all major schools of psychotherapeutic thought, choosing techniques that serve specific purposes and outlining changes in behavioral, affective, and cognitive domains necessary for lasting change.

By focusing on character pathology resulting from disorders in attachment, the book discusses etiology, characteristic affects, behaviors, and cognitions, bodily expressions of character, and therapeutic objectives and techniques. This comprehensive understanding provides a consistent and clinically useful view of psychopathology, therapy, and health.
