Empowered Psychotherapy: Teaching Self-Processing

by Robert Langs

Overview

'Self-Processing' is Langs' development of self-analysis. He lays down a detailed technique and ground-rules for using this technique in everyday practice, in order to utilise the encoded impulses and adaptive processes of the client.The self-processing (self-analysis) therapy that is at the heart of this book is arguably the most powerful means available for accessing and harnessing the power and wisdom of a deep intelligence whose adaptive choices and encoded communications embody a compelling and effective route to insight and cure. Langs' attention to the details of technique and to the ground rules and of the treatment situation generates many surprising perspectives on the therapeutic experience, exciting revelations that have a multitude of applications in clinical practice. Empowered Psychotherapy is a modern-day classic that stands on the cutting edge of psychotherapy; the book is a turning point in the long and honorable history of the fields of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
