"This book represents the culmination of over a quarter of a
century of careful work by the authors in developing their
particular approach to constructivist psychotherapy. Not only does
it contain an unusually detailed exposition of the assumptions
underlying the approach, but it is also a rich source of clinical
wisdom, which will be of great value to both trainees and more
experienced therapists." - David Winter, University of
Hertfordshire and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS
Trust, UK."At last, a book series that will help to make the ideal
of effective continuing professional development in the fields of
psychotherapy and counselling more of a reality. Without being
partisan or requiring an unrealistically high level of existing
knowledge, the books offer a unique opportunity for experienced
practitioners and advanced students to encounter the cutting edge
of theory in their particular theoretical model." - Andrew Samuels,
Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex."A stunning
little book, deceptively simple and straightforward; this book
should be required reading for students and practitioners who wish
to offer therapeutic help to those suffering from various losses
and emotional upheavals, distresses that are frequently diagnosed
as mental illness. Neimeyer is an adept student of
psychotherapeutic theories, and he nimbly inserts various
theoretical ideas within the chapters. An exciting and generative
alternative for people seeking happier lives." --Mary Gergen,
Ph.D., in PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 54, Release 45

contribution is refreshing, challenging, and important. Readers
will undoubtedly find themselves consulting it for guidance long
after having read it the first time. Invoking the language of
personal construct theory, this is a book that offers many
intriguing and generative constructive alternatives for experienced
and inexperienced therapists alike." - Jonathan D. Raskin,
