Therapist Performance Under Pressure: Negotiating Emotion, Difference, and Rupture

Rate this book
This book draws on performance research from the cognitive and emotion sciences to help therapists negotiate the difficult emotional challenges they face in psychotherapy.
 
Therapists perform under pressure regularly, especially when encountering patients who evoke challenging emotions that mark ruptures in the patient–therapist alliance. Authors Chris Muran and Catherine Eubanks synthesize decades of accumulated clinical knowledge and experience to provide psychotherapists, supervisors, and trainees with effective strategies for recognizing and repairing ruptures. In doing so, they demonstrate how therapists from diverse theoretical orientations can transform ruptures from potential breaking points into opportunities for strengthening alliances with patients and improving outcomes.
 
Clinical illustrations show therapists how to negotiate basic and self‑conscious emotions and navigate individual and cultural differences. This book also reviews strategies and principles for therapist self-care and training via supervision to help therapists better regulate their emotions and become good models for their patients. This book also includes the complete Rupture Resolution Rating System (or 3RS) manual, a popular assessment tool for measuring alliance ruptures and repair strategies.

Un libro utile e chiaro su un tema definito e specifico. Muran è autore con Safran degli studi di base sull’alleanza terapeutica: qui si occupa (con Eubanks) del tema delle rottura delle alleanze e della tecnica di riparazione della rottura. Ho trovato solo un po’ superficiali gli excursus filosofici, un pochino ridondante il cap. 4. La parte sulla supervisione è a mio avviso fuori contesto nel libro ma le esperienze di “James” sono di estremo interesse. Il libro è completato da una scala sulla valutazione della risoluzione delle rotture.
Qualche pecca nella traduzione italiana Cortina che ho letto io: rendere “internal working models” con “modelli professionali interni” (anziché operativi), per esempio, non è molto sensato.
