Koenigsberg, Judy Z.,

Navigating ruptures, repairs, and termination within the therapeutic process / Judy Z. Koenigsberg. - New York, NY : Routledge, 2024. - 1 online resource

"This book explores the importance of the therapeutic relationship, the tensions or disagreements that may emerge during a therapy session, and how they can be repaired. Dr Koenigsberg introduces a two-part transtheoretical, psycholinguistic model which focuses on the connection between ruptures and the termination phase of therapy, emphasizing the verbal and nonverbal nuances of language, to understand what is happening in the therapeutic alliance. With a reliance on psycholinguistic elements, this model can guide therapists who wish to reduce the premature termination of patients from therapy. Written in an accessible format, it includes case examples, including the patient's and therapist's inner experiences, and defines and describes the phases of therapy, so that difficult transitions in the therapeutic process can be navigated with skill and compassion. This text is essential for providing early career as well as more seasoned therapists with excellent strategies to repair their therapeutic relationships with clients"--
