Learning Psychotherapy, 2nd edition

Bernard Beitman and Dongmei Yue

 

Praise for the First Edition:

"Beitman and Yue (1999) then present, as promised, an extremely carefully and well worked out sequence for training in this approach to psychotherapy integration. The roots in research are clear, and the way these are combined and rtaught are spelled out. An instructor wishing to develop a program in psychotherapy integration could do so by following the template for teaching that is presented... Each of the modules in their training program begins with a remarkably valuable and succinct introduction that synthesizes clinical insight and relevant research knowledge... If I were designing a training program and wanted a book to guide the development of that program, Beitman and Yue (1999) would be my choice."

—Journal of Psychotherapy Integration

"[A]n excellent selection as an introductory text for teaching psychiatric residents key principles underlying the psychotherapeutic process which are common to all psychotherapeutic schools….[A] valuable resource for the field.”
—Community Mental Health Journal

 

Overview

An integrative training approach with proven effectiveness

The seminar leader is the conduit of basic psychotherapeutic knowledge. The Learning Psychotherapy Seminar Leader's Manual helps instructors introduce beginners to the concepts and processes that define psychotherapy. With the help of the main text and the Learning Psychotherapy Vignettes videotape, seminar leaders show trainees not only the diversity of useful ideas from psychotherapeutic schools but also those variations that fit their own personalities. The program is well-structured but flexible as seminar leaders are encouraged to adapt them to individual training situations-bring in your own cases and encourage trainees to regularly bring in their current clinical problems. Make psychotherapeutic learning come alive by using the modules as the jumping off point!
