Making Psychotherapy More Effective with Unconscious Process Work explores the remarkable capabilities of unconscious intelligence in gathering information and enabling rapid cognition. It offers a clear overview of recent research on unconscious processes alongside clinical case studies to equip readers with practical skills for engaging unconscious resources strategically. The book begins by discussing research-driven principles that challenge traditional views of conscious self-governance in therapy and then presents transtheoretical techniques such as prediction, reimagining, mental contrasting, and incubated cognition, supported by case examples and reflective exercises.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Making Psychotherapy More Effective with Unconscious Process Work is an essential text that seeks to educate readers on the astounding capabilities of unconscious intelligence to both gather information and engage in rapid cognition. By providing a comprehensive and easily understood overview of the recent research on unconscious processes, as well as clinical case material, this book provides readers with skills that will enable them to strategically engage these resources.

The first part of the book discusses the research-based principles that frame this growth-oriented approach towards psychotherapy. New discoveries about the surprising limitations of conscious self-governance force readers to reconsider the overall aim of psychotherapy.

The second part explores several transtheoretical techniques, focusing on prediction, reimagining, mental contrasting, and incubated cognition. Case examples and key point summaries are used throughout, with the last chapter featuring reflective exercises.

This book is essential reading for practicing psychotherapists, Ericksonian therapists, graduate students, and professors of psychotherapy.
