| Summary |
"Practicing Intersubjectively describes how the intersubjective systems perspective informs, shapes, and guides the psychotherapeutic process. Using extensive clinical case material, Peter Buirski illustrates the way an intersubjective systems sensibility informs and enriches clinical practice; it views each treatment as exquisitely context sensitive. This means that the person who comes for therapy would present differently to different therapists and the two of them would construct different processes. Therapists themselves are not interchangeable, and the intersubjective field that the two participants construct together would be unique and distinctly different from the field created by any other pair |
|
Practicing Intersubjectively, with a focus on attuning and articulating to the contextual construction of personal worlds of experience, enables a different therapy process to unfold than occurs in traditional one-person, authority-based treatment approaches and is uniquely suited to working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and those suffering from such challenging concerns as trauma and prejudice."--BOOK JACKET |
