Inspired by a desire to share focusing-oriented therapy (FOT) with readers new to the subject, and seeking dialogue with clinicians and others, Madison offers an approach that can be integrated into therapy sessions and personal life. Touting focusing as an approach that helps one discern the implicit, he presents essays from international contributors who discuss trauma, wholebody focusing therapy, dream work, illness and dying, addiction, therapeutic dead-ends, and stressful living. Eighteen chapters are divided into five parts: focusing-oriented therapy as a response to trauma; therapeutic innovations from the “whole body”; focusing in Asian contexts; applications of focusing practice to specific issues and populations; the person within the focusing-oriented approach. The book is aimed at therapists, coaches, and other practitioners. There are contributors, references, and illustrations. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
