Synopsis "Therapy With Tough Clients: Exploring the use of Indirect and Unconscious Techniques "

Whether you're fairly new to therapy or if you've practiced for many years, no doubt at times you ve found yourself stumped with certain clients who leave you feeling perplexed and discouraged with that "I-just-don t-know-what-to-do-next" feeling. George Gafner has been there and that's precisely why he wrote this book. Faced with the reality that today's cookie-cutter treatment mentality either a) presupposes that all people with, say, depression, can be treated essentially the same way, or b) that these approaches virtually ignore the established fact that a good deal of a person s mental functioning is governed not by conscious choice but instead by automatic, or unconscious, forces that lie outside of voluntary control. The author believes that all therapeutic approaches should be adapted to the unique needs of the individual client, and that the unconscious needs to be heavily considered in any therapy approach. Centered around two fascinating case studies, Gafner discusses concepts and techniques seldom addressed, including the therapist's use of voice, subtle vocal shifts, the pause, the strategic interval of silence, seeding as well as the application of hypnotic techniques within standard talk therapy. He makes the case for integrating ego-strengthening in therapy and advocates ego-strengthening as a "shovel-ready project" and incorporates the use of healing metaphors in therapy. As a strong supporter of evidence-based treatments, he believes that in much of real-world mental health treatment we can't simply follow a manual. We must adapt treatment to the unique needs of the individual, and the more skills and tools we can bring to bear, the better for both us and our clients.
