Psychotherapy Of Neurotic Character

Book excerpt: This masterful new book presents for the first time an approach to psychotherapy based on Shapiro's classic Neurotic Styles. A series of eloquent chapters, illustrated with clinical vignettes, bring to bear his brilliant ideas about character development on the actual conduct of psychotherapy. "This long awaited volume richly fulfills its promise. Few writers on the psychotherapy scene have as interesting, or as important, things to say. This beautifully written book is fresh, insightful, and wise".--Paul Wachtel, Ph.D. Index.
