Adult Personality Growth in Psychotherapy, 1ed

Psychotherapy for personality growth aims towards augmenting a sense of identity, enriching relationships, and enhancing control of emotion. Integration of these key factors requires that a person learn to modify a narrative of characteristics of self in the present as articulated to the past and having future goals. Therapy towards these ends changes mental structures through both conscious and unconscious processing.

New modes of thinking about self and others means navigating emotional waters that have seemed turbulent. Safety in that course occurs by developing a therapeutic alliance, having frank conversations about dangers, and exploring new ways of coping with them rather than avoiding them. While important, insight is not the sole road to such adaptive changes. New relationship experiences can also lead to significant and enduring changes in attitudes, intentions, and expectations.

This book uses contemporary theories from cognitive and psychodynamic sciences, especially a modern understanding of the operation of schemas and emotional-control processes. Clinicians operating within cognitive-behavioral therapy frameworks, especially, may value this component of complexity in case formulation. Clinicians trained in psychodynamic therapy may value the specific emphasis on techniques to promote present moments of learning.
