Inhaltsangabe

What is important about this text is not Pre-Therapy itself---this can be read in other books and papers. This collection of seminal work and new writing concerns itself with the growth resulting from the first flush of Pre-Therapy theory and practice. Pre-Therapy has undergone three stages of development: (1) 1966-1986 `birth' in the United States: (2) 1986-2006 expansion and growth in Europe; and (3) the ongoing expansion beyond itself to other distinct and separate psychological phenomena---a second generation of theorizing and applications.

For the reader not familiar with Pre-Therapy, Part I outlines a brief history of the approach and Part II is a review of the theory itself. Part III contains independent approaches to divergent issues and problems. They have their commonality only by being rooted in Pre-Therapy and are the emergent developments. Part IV contains related developments that are less explicitly connected to, but nevertheless influenced by, Pre-Therapy to put readers already conversant with Pre-Therapy at the leading edges of related theory and practice.
