International contributors to this book are practitioners and educators in psychology and psychotherapy, working within the framework of focusing-oriented psychotherapy. After a foreword by Eugene Gendlin, founder of The Focusing Institute, the book offers self-contained chapters that can be read independently. Part 1 explains the focusing-oriented approach, while Part 2 shows how to integrate the approach with other orientations such as solution-focused therapy, attachment theory, and existential therapy. Part 3 describes modes of clinical practice, with material on working with structure-bound processes, parent-infant therapy, couples therapy, group psychotherapy , and expressive arts therapy. Part 4 examines special topics from the focusing-oriented context, with discussion of neuroscience, cross-cultural approaches, and philosophy.
