"Wachtel, whose contributions have been at the cutting edge of contemporary approaches to psychotherapy, masterfully deals with the clinically delicate task of verbally presenting reality to patients. Wachtel astutely observes that in saying the unsaid, therapists often walk the fine line between clarification and accusation. Richly illustrated with clinical examples,Therapeutic Communicationprovides therapists with invaluable guiding principles that can enhance their clinical effectiveness." --Marvin R. Goldfried, PhD, State University of New York at Stony Brook "Forget that speed reading course you took--this is a book that will absorb you so deeply you'll want to savor every paragraph, every sentence. Paul Wachtel has already given us some of the most creative books on psychotherapy, butTherapeutic Communicationstands apart as a genuine masterpiece of clinical and scholarly wisdom. This is undoubtedly one of the most important books on psychotherapy in the last two decades. For the novice, it will orient and clarify therapeutic essentials, and for the seasoned clinician, it will reinvigorate and expand horizons. There is nothing else like it." --Alan Gurman, PhD, University of Wisconsin Medical School "Paul Wachtel has been one of the most thoughtful and provocative writers on psychodynamic psychotherapy in recent years. He has made major contributions in the application of complex psychoanalytic ideas to the broader range of psychotherapies, and conversely has made important contributions to the rethinking and modernization of traditional psychoanalytic concepts. In this volume, he extends his model of cyclical psychodynamics to the important and largely unexplored area of the metacommunicational dimensions of the therapist's participation." --Stephen Mitchell, PhD, Editor,Psychoanalytic Dialogues, "This is the best book on how to talk to one's patients I have ever read, and it is the book I most frequently recommend to my trainees to read....Throughout the book, Wachtel offers principles, backed up with examples of therapeutic communications that worked, did not work, or could have been much better framed, that allow even highly experienced clinicians to rethink some of the nitty-gritty of the syntax of their communications with patients....a profund and important book" --Journal of Psychotherapy Integration "This is the best book on how to talk to one's patients I have ever read, and it is the book I most frequently recommend to my trainees....The lessons on language embodied in this book are experience-near and clinically useful for anyone who talks with patients, regardless of theoretical orientation.... Wachtel addresses with tremendous sophistication a number of thorny issues that are seldom addressed in such a clear, clinically genuine (as opposed to theoretically driven) way, such as the uses and limits of therapeutic self-disclosure and suggestion....A profound and important book." --Journal of Psychotherapy Integration "Therapeutic Communicationis a unique book that integrates the theoretical models of psychoanalysis and ego psychology with learning theory, cognitive behavior modification and suggestions (hypnotic and non-hypnotic). The book has many practical illustrations and clinical examples for verbal therapeutic communication. It is well written and highly sophisticated. Beginning, as well as mature and experienced clinicians, will find it to be a true treasure for their practice of psychotherapy." --American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis "Wachtel's book is a masterpiece. It should be required reading for all therapists. His incisive thesis integrates and extends some of the most important thinking about psychotherapy in the 20th century." --The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease "This is a textbook to sit down and read from cover to cover....It will be essential reading for any student of psychodynamic therapy. It will also be of great value to lecturers, researchers and a wider readership of psychologists, therapists and counsellors. Excellent and very readable." --Changes: An International Journal of Psychology and Psychotherapy "....The book is a straightforward delivery on the promise of its title. It is a richly illustrated compendium of therapeutic prescriptions: strategies of communication--modeling, reframing, role-playing, the use of paradox and suggestion--whose legacy is clearly that of cognitive and behavioral therapies, and other ways to say exactly what one wishes to convey. Abundant clinical vignettes provide examples and explanations of why one version of a comment or interpretation may be more usable to the patient than another. Yet, throughout the book, such traditional psychoanalytic goals as increased self-awareness, insight into conflict, and ownership of feelings and behavior are not neglected....This book is an interesting and enlightening exposition of an interesting and enlightening point of view." --Psychoanalytic Books: A Quarterly Journal of Reviews "Simply written, well-illustrated....Therapeutic Communicationis a book that is well worth reading. For the novice therapist, it provides an important addition to knowledge of technique. For the more experienced practitioner, it carefully and systematically puts into words ways in which we can consider our work." --The American Journal of Psychoanalysis "This book should be especially useful in teaching psychotherapy." --Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic "Persuasive and lucid....This book would be an excellent addition to any clinician's library.

Synopsis
This uniquely practical volume examines precisely what the therapist can say at key moments to enhance therapeutic effectiveness and the process of healing and change. Through vivid clinical illustrations, the book illuminates why some communications in therapy are particularly effective, while others addressing essentially the very same content may actually be countertherapeutic. Wachtel's powerful integrative theory also provides new insights into how psychological disorder evolves, how it is maintained, and how psychotherapy contributes to change.
