Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychotherapy has undergone major changes in recent years, with a variety of new approaches including cognitive-behavioural therapy joining the more traditional and widespread schools of thought. These new approaches all share the epistemological assumption of constructivism, which states that there are alternative ways of looking at events and that we interpret events according to how we see the world. Constructivist Psychotherapy reviews the constructivist trends in psychotherapy which link these new approaches, allowing the reader to enter an entirely new dialogue. The book traces constructivist thought, elaborating on Kelly’s personal construct theory and the implications for psychotherapeutic theory and practice. Areas of discussion include: the therapist’s understanding of the client’s narrative a constructivist understanding of the person psychological constructivism and constructivist trends in psychotherapy Setting constructivist psychotherapy within its therapeutic, social and philosophical context and using case studies throughout, the book revisits 'Kellian' ideas and theories, bringing them up to date, to explore what it is to be a constructivist psychotherapist today. As such this book will be of interest to all psychotherapists, as well as anyone with an interest in the psychotherapeutic field.

Download or read book Adlerian Cognitive and Constructivist Therapies written by Richard E. Watts and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, there has been growing interest in integration among psychotherapy theorists and practitioners. Historically, allegiance to specific theories or "systems" of psychotherapy was emphasized and even expected by particular "schools of thought." However, the current zeitgeist emphasizes common ground and convergent themes. Within this context is Adlerian theory/therapy, having originated in the first half of the 20th century relevant for today's integrative discussion. The diverse authors in this book demonstrate that the Adlerian approach soundly resonates with contemporary cognitive and constructivist therapies, and is indeed a relevant "voice" for inclusion in contemporary dialogues regarding integration. Part I includes chapters by Adlerian and Constructivist authors. Part II includes perspectives from Adlerian and Cognitive therapists. Part III presents responses to the prior chapters representing all three systems approaches.
