Recenzii
"Social work is a profession that puts compassion front and center; we're trained and encouraged to use both our hearts and our heads to help our clients. Michael Mahoney's Constructive Psychotherapy will go a long way to help us with our work. A constructivist approach views humans as empowered, as doing the best we can--to solve problems and make decisions as we strive to live our lives successfully--given what we know about ourselves and the world. What I like so much about this approach, and this book, is its ability to strengthen these qualities in our clients even as we encourage them to make crucial changes in their lives. Through its thoughtfulness and numerous examples of cases and techniques, this book is truly a practical guide to using a constructivist approach."--Aaron M. Brower, PhD, School of Social Work and Integrated Liberal Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"Michael Mahoney has long been a powerful voice in bringing a constructivist sensibility to the practice of psychotherapy. Constructive Psychotherapy cogently summarizes the theoretical underpinnings of this clinical approach and outlines a set of specific guidelines for constructive psychotherapy. Clinical vignettes amply illustrate the application of constructivist principles aimed at transforming emotional experiencing within the therapeutic bond. Masterfully written, the book will be an invaluable text for students of psychotherapy and will also provide a breath of fresh air to all practitioners wishing to enrich and humanize their therapeutic practice."--Robert D. Stolorow, PhD, coauthor of Worlds of Experience
"This beautifully written book contains the accumulated wisdom of an extremely thoughtful psychotherapy pioneer. I assume that Mahoney calls it constructive psychotherapy because to call it what it really is would be less catchy: a creative integration of narrative, cognitive, behavioral, experiential, body, and movement therapies with ancient wisdom traditions. Whether you consider yourself a constructivist or don't know what one is, you will find in these pages a multitude of useful ideas and techniques embedded in a philosophy of compassion and respect for clients, and you will enjoy reading it. It's truly a 'work of heart.'"--Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, The Center for Self Leadership, Oak Park, IL
"This thoughtful volume offers the definitive exposition of constructivist psychotherapy. Michael Mahoney provides a treasure trove of insights that are both theoretically provocative and clinically illuminating."--Albert Bandura, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stanford University
"Dr. Michael Mahoney, one of the world's foremost authorities on human change processes, has put a lifetime of wisdom into this major publication. This is a superb how-to manual for therapists interested in leading-edge, innovative, and integrative clinical approaches. Mahoney's book is not just the best available account of constructive psychotherapy, but one of the best books I've read on psychotherapy, period."--Ken Wilber, author of Integral Psychology
"In a remarkably concise and coherent fashion, Mahoney weaves together a multitude of the richest sources of thinking about the human condition. He integrates ancient and contemporary views and bridges diverse theories and disciplines. His approach to the body in psychotherapy is truly revolutionary. This book is an instant classic. It will influence future developments in psychotherapy theory, research, and practice."--Giampiero Arciero, MD, PhD, University of Siena, Italy

As I was in the midst of redesigning a course on theories of human change processes and clinical practice, it was serendipitous that I would receive a request to review [this book]....Constructive Psychotherapy is not only useful but offers so much more than a practical guide....[It] is a book that professors from a variety of disciplines, practicing psychologists, social workers, family therapists, and child and youth care practitioners can use in their classrooms and their offices.
