Description

This book provides psychotherapists with evidence-based strategies for harnessing the power of language to promote psychological flourishing. It draws on relational frame theory (RFT) to offer innovative ways to enhance assessment and intervention using specific kinds of clinical conversations.

Techniques are demonstrated for activating and shaping behavior change, building a flexible sense of self, fostering meaning and motivation, creating powerful experiential metaphors, and strengthening the therapeutic relationship. The book includes over 80 clinical vignettes with commentary by the authors, as well as a "Quick Guide to Using RFT in Psychotherapy" filled with sample phrases and questions to ask.

For those looking to enhance their skills in psychotherapy, this book offers practical tools and strategies for harnessing the power of language to promote positive change. It is accompanied by two other works on therapeutic communication, providing a comprehensive approach to language in psychotherapy.
