DIALOGICAL SELF IN PSYCHOTHERAPY; ED. BY HUBERT J.M. HERMANS

"The basic assumption of the 'dialogical self' is that there is no centralized 'headquarters' in the mind, but that the self is made up of a number of different 'characters'. Interpersonal relationships, from infancy onwards, become internalized - these internalized relationships then influence relationships during life. The Dialogical Self in Psychotherapy explores this concept." "The Dialogical Self in Psychotherapy gathers together psychotherapists from divergent origins to explore current thinking in the field: cognitive, constructivist, process-experiential, narrative, psychodynamic, psychodramatic, humanistic and cognitive analytic. This innovative book brings together inter- and intra-subjective dialogue and clearly demonstrates how they are incorporated into the therapeutic process."--BOOK JACKET.
