Psychotherapy as a Developmental ProcessAuthor(s): Michael Basseches, Michael F. Mascolo\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138984219, 978-1138984219\nSynopsis\nFor all those engaged in psychotherapy practice, regardless of modality or approach, the goal of this book is to provide a framework and method for thinking about their work that allows for critical reflection on their own successes and disappointments, and on the similarities and differences among their own and other practitioners work with different clients. The authors use a novel \""common factors\"" approach, based on the idea that some form of development is the outcome of all effective psychotherapy, despite other differences that may exist. \n\nWhile most existing psychotherapy research focuses on treatment outcomes, primarily in terms of symptom reduction, this book offers an alternative research approach that systematically tracks the psychotherapy.
