Von der hinteren Coverseite

Over the past century, psychology has evolved from a discipline dominated by a focus on behaviour into one focused on cognition. However, more recently psychology has rediscovered the important central role that emotion plays in everything that we do.

Emotion Focused Cognitive Therapy argues that it is time for a new focus in psychotherapy based on emotion. The author, Professor of Clinical Psychology and practicing clinical psychologist Mick Power, draws on the latest information about emotion in order to develop an innovative approach to the treatment of clients with emotional disorders. In doing so, he integrates relevant work on behaviour, cognition, and emotion to provide practitioners with a new understanding of therapy. Emotion Focused Cognitive Therapyis a timely and invaluable guide for professionals seeking to enhance their clinical effectiveness.
