Synopsis

Written for therapists, Co-Creating Change shows what to do to help "stuck" patients (those who resist the therapy process) let go of their resistance and self-defeating behaviors and willingly co-create a relationship for change instead. Co-Creating Change includes clinical vignettes that illustrate hundreds of therapeutic impasses taken from actual sessions, showing how to understand patients and how to intervene effectively. The book provides clear, systematic steps for assessing patients' needs and intervening to develop an effective relationship for change. Co-Creating Change presents an integrative theory that uses elements of behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, emotion-focused therapy, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness. This empirically validated treatment is effective with a wide range of patients.
Co-Creating Change: Effective Dynamic Techniques has won the First Prize in Psychiatry at the British Medical Book Awards.

Review

"This book is a brilliant master class. It demonstrates how to work collaboratively with patients safely, compassionately, and effectively to achieve successful outcomes."
David Malan, DM, FRCPsych, author of Individual Psychotherapy and the Science of Psychodynamics

"An incredibly useful book . . . Offers crystal clear and highly practical therapy techniques with plenty of transcript examples. Good for new and advanced practitioners of any therapeutic orientation."
Leslie Greenberg PhD, author of Emotion-Focused Therapy

"The multiple clinical transcripts are inspiring, helpful, and often tremendously moving. No one does a better job explaining how and when to focus on emotions, anxiety, and defenses or in integrating psychotherapeutic technique with the latest research on neurobiology, attachment, and emotion. Co-Creating Change deserves to be read by both novice and experienced psychotherapists alike."
Stephen E. Finn, PhD, founder, Center for Therapeutic Assessment, Austin, Texas

"Co-Creating Change is an invaluable source book for all therapists wanting to do work that is highly collaborative and deeply affecting. From a solid base in theory and research, Jon Frederickson deals with the nitty-gritty of therapy, outlining treatment strategies and interventions that can help therapists increase their effectiveness across a wide spectrum of patients." --Patricia Coughlin, Ph.D, Faculty, University of New Mexico; Author: Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy
