Description:
This book explores the complex relationship between client and therapist, and the ways this interaction directly influences the therapeutic process and ultimate outcome. Experienced psychologist and author Charles Gelso illuminates the elements of the psychotherapeutic relationship and then offers an innovative theoretical conception of the dynamic, composed of three primary components: the working alliance, the transference configuration, and the real relationship. This theory is seamlessly integrated into the author's research, and produces valuable suggestions for facilitating practice and outcome.
