"...original and exciting....The most outstanding book in the field of psychoanalytical technique and process....Required reading for mental health professionals at all levels of training and experience."--Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Review, "Patients come to psychotherapy hoping to get better and look to therapists to help them feel safe by disconfirming conscious pathogenic beliefs. Here we have what seems like a remarkably simple idea. But what is revolutionary and most startling, Weiss's theory has been empirically tested and validated. Weiss ranges from his broad conceptualization of motivation and pathogenesis to the microanalysis of the clinical exchange. He demonstrates the impact of psychotherapy is in theeffectof interventions, not on the intent or "purity" of technique. Reading HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS is a corrective educational experience." --Joseph Lichtenberg, M.D., Washington, D.C. "This exciting and original book is a veritable treasure-house of practical understanding and clinical wisdom gained from Dr. Weiss's decades of psychoanalytic experience and amply supported by an impressive body of systematic research on the theories he has advanced. The lucidity and readability of this work is outstanding and should make this an excellent basic text for beginners in the field, as well as seasoned mental health practitioners. According to Weiss's therapy, psychopathology stems from pathogenic beliefs formed mainly in childhood from traumatic relationships. Weiss's theory of therapy and technique follows directly from his concept of psychopathology. He views psychotherapy as a process in which the patient works to disconfirm his pathogenic beliefs with the help of the therapist. Patients are powerfully motivated to disconfirm these beliefs because they are maladaptive and grim, and they produce much mental pain. Weiss conceptualizes the therapist's basic task as being one of helping patients to disprove their pathogenic beliefs, particularly their unconscious pathogenic beliefs, and to help patients pursue the goals that have been blocked by these overwhelmingly disturbing ideas." --Theo. L. Dorpat, M.D., F.A.P.A., Seattle, Washington "In HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS, Joseph Weiss offers an experience-near, relational, and rational approach to psychoanalytic therapy that is based on empirical research into the therapeutic process. A breath of fresh air in a field dominated by unsupported doctrine, this excellent text will serve as an invaluable guide to all students of psychotherapy." --Robert D. Stolorow, Ph.D., Training and Supervising Analyst, Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis "....This highly original book is recommended reading for mental health professionals at all levels of training." --Theo L. Dorpat inThe Psychoanalytic Quarterly "This book is recommended for educators and practitioners wanting to understand and make use of a psychoanalytic approach sith clients." --David A. Jenkins, Ph.D.,The American Journal of Family Therapy "This book summarizes decades of clinical teaching, research, and study in a form that is readily accessible to the working psychoanalyst....The body of work presented is important and should be taken seriously." --Stephen F. Bauer, M.D., inPsychoanalytic Books "This original and exciting book on psychotherapy process and technique should become, in a short time, the most outstanding book in the field of psychoanalytical technique and process....The readability of this eminently practical volume makes it required reading for mental health professionals at all levels of training and experience." --Theo L.

Synopsis
In this volume, the author presents an enlightened theory of psychotherapy which has broad implications for the understanding of human behavior. His theory is distinctive in its emphasis on concepts that Freud developed in his late works concerning the patient's cognition and problem?solving activities to his power unconscious. The theory derives its clinical power from its empirical origin, closeness to observation, and from Weiss' cogent exposition of how to infer, from history and behavior, what the patient is trying to accomplish and how the therapist may help. Weiss develops the implications of his theory for technique and includes numerous clinical examples to illustrate concepts. This text is aimed at psychiatrists, psychologists, and clinicians in the field of mental health., In this volume, the author presents an enlightened theory of psychotherapy which has broad implications for the understanding of human behavior., In the landmark volume, THE PSYCHOANALYTIC PROCESS, Joseph Weiss presented a bold, original theory of the therapeutic process. Now, in HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS, Weiss extends his powerful theory and focuses on its clinical applications, often challenging many familiar ideas about the psychotherapeutic process. Weiss' theory, which is supported by formal, empirical research, assumes that psychopathology stems from unconscious, pathogenic beliefs that the patient acquires by inference from early traumatic experiences. He suffers unconsciously from these beliefs and the feelings of guilt, shame, and remorse that they engender, and he is powerfully motivated unconsciously to change them. According to Weiss's theory, the patient exerts considerable control over unconscious mental life, and he makes and carries out plans for working with the therapist to change his pathogenic beliefs. He works to disprove these beliefs by testing them with the therapist. The theory derives its clinical power not only from its empirical origin and closeness to observation, and also from Weiss's cogent exposition of how to infer, from the patient's history and behavior in treatment, what the patient is trying to accomplish and how the therapist may help. By focusing on fundamental processes, Weiss's observations challenge several current therapeutic dichotomies--"supportive versus uncovering," "interactive versus interpretive," and "relational versus analytic." Written in simple, direct language, Weiss demonstrates how to uncover the patient's unconscious plan and how the therapist can help the patient to carry out his plans by passing the patient's tests. He includes many examples of actual treatment sessions, which serve to make his theory clear and usable. The chapters include highly original views about the patient's motivations, the role of affect in the patient's mental life, and the therapist's basic task. The book also contains chapters on how to pass the patient's tests, and how to use interpretation with the patient. Dr. Weiss also provides a powerful theory of dreams and demonstrates how dreams can be utilized in clinical practice. This distinguished volume is a major contribution that will profoundly affect the way one conceptualizes and practices therapy. Theoreticians, investigators, and clinicians alike will find it enlightening reading.
