Synopsis

This volume helps navigate "the jungle of different typologies that has sprung up in the field of psychotherapy ...." The authors review character and personality typologies from realist and postmodernist positions as useful for effective practice as well as counter-arguments about their subjectivity and over-simplification, before explaining the myriad approaches from psychoanalytic to transpersonal. They conclude by weighing the benefits and risks of integrating them. Includes further reading. Totten, influenced by Reich, Process- Oriented Psychology, and psychoanalysis, practices Embodiment- Relational Therapy. Jacobs has been consulting since his recent retirement from the U. of Leicester's psychotherapy and counseling program. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
