Psychotherapy and the Remorseful Patient

Portada
Psychology Press, 1989 - 330 páginas
This authoritative new book illustrates the necessity and value of remorse as a psychological experience. With thought-provoking case studies and explanations, psychotherapists provide clinical approaches to treating remorse--an ever present challenge and a potent instrument for all emotional social recovery. Experts demonstrate how to teach patients to recognize their faults and to admit their errors without experiencing the painful feelings of self-hate and pity. This engrossing volume is not an exploration of pathology as much as it is an appeal to professionals to consider remorse a foundation for all psychotherapy.
