Healing the Whole Person

"The approach described in Healing the Whole Person represents the culmination of years of pioneering work in brief, solution-focused psychotherapy. Proven highly effective in interventions with a wide range of behavioral and relationship problems, it combines established methodologies - including language techniques pioneered by the likes of Milton Erickson, Steve de Shazer, and Bill O'Hanlon - with original emotional and body interventions.". "Emphasizing techniques that promote the interconnectedness of language, the emotions, and the body, McNeilly describes how to rapidly establish a solid rapport with clients; pose change-provoking questions; transform negative emotions into positive ones; deal with resistant or hostile clients; and use exercise, breathing, posture, and meditation to help enlist the body's resources to encourage positive change.". "A guide to state-of-the-art thinking and practices in brief, short-term psychotherapy, Healing the Whole Person is a resource for all mental health professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
