商品簡介
Life Witness is a blueprint for the formative evolution of a psychotherapist. The book begins by depicting the psychotherapist from being a beginner/technician who practices a single theoretical paradigm to one who becomes an expert clinician with a trans-theoretical paradigm. Then, the book depicts how an expert clinician can transcend the field of psychotherapy and become a master psychotherapist by addressing the larger dilemma of human existence—the context within which all patients’ psychological problems are enacted and presented.
