Making Room for the Disavowed

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the integration of various therapeutic strategies, the book delves into how early attachment experiences shape individuals' emotional development and self-perception. Wachtel emphasizes the importance of acknowledging neglected aspects of the self and employs a blend of psychodynamic, humanistic, systemic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. By addressing the influences of race, class, and culture, the work provides valuable case studies that demonstrate how present-focused therapy can facilitate healing from past traumas.
