Curing Psychological Symptoms

In this book, written for clinicians as well as the curious general reader, Kellerman examines psychological symptoms such as migraines, phobias, compulsions-the symptom code-in view of the four truly empowering things we need to know about them. The reader is guided through these four related to all emotional problems: the wishes, the anger, the who, and the to do. The fantastic fact is that psychotherapists have never really had a map or an instruction manual that they all could follow so that any symptom could be unlocked and cured," Dr. Kellerman writes. "Even though psychotherapists know a great deal about the processes of psychotherapeutic treatment, the sad fact is that nowhere is there any spelled-out technique that therapists systematically use to penetrate the symptom and then cure it." This book is far more than a technical treatise. It considers ten fascinating cases to show how Dr. Kellerman's methods have worked over some fifty-five years of private practice. A majority among the profiled do not require medication, some do. Rather than discussing "the cure," Dr. Kellerman employs the far-more-realistic therapeutic goal of struggling better, a faithful reflection of what the therapeutic process is about"--
