Description
This material (audio and book) is a collection of seven demonstrations of this technique along with in-depth analysis and explanation of the clinical model and the steps of the technique. Five of these are from demonstrations Terry Argast, Ph.D. conducted during the Society training programs from 1993 and 1994. Two are from actual therapy sessions with clients.
The didactic material is taken from a special workshop conducted in August of 1994. During this workshop, the clinical model was explained in depth to assist in understanding how to use this technique. When possible, follow-up information about how the experience has impacted the subject has been included. The discussion segments after the demonstrations have been edited, but the actual demonstrations are unedited other than as necessary to protect patient confidentiality.
What is valuable about this material is that it provides the repetition and in-depth analysis that is essential to master a particular clinical approach. This type of study is not available in a workshop setting, whereas this series of book and associated audio training allows you to study the theory and practical applications of the techniques on a much deeper level.
The book includes the didactic material about the clinical model, the basic steps and elements of the technique, details and issues therapists are likely to encounter when they use this approach, then a transcription of the dialogue of each demonstration complete with an analysis of what is going on and an explanation of the intervention.
Since it is impossible to fully understand how the technique is used and how individuals respond to it from the written material alone, adding the audio training means you can not only study the theory, but also experience the nuances and tone of actual interventions.
