About this book

This book presents self-organization as a common theoretical foundation for a variety of therapy styles. New models and conceptual tools that describe and explain some of the crucial features of psychotherapy are discussed. In contrast to other highly theoretical and technical discussions of the subject, this book gives a wider audience an understanding of recent developments.
