Reviews
"A superb integration of theory, empirical reseach, and clinical wisdom. Beginningsbrings together in a wonderful way advances in psychological research, psychotherapy theory, and practical planning of a treatment intervention. It presents the best available introductory text to guide the young psychotherapist through the labyrinth of theories, findings, and recommendations that can often destroy the natural creativity of the beginning practitioner or even those of us who are more experienced." - Peter Fonagy, Ph.D., Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, University College London "Dr. Peebles-Kleiger has written a masterful and comprehensive summary of how the psychotherapist should think in developing a psychotherapeutic treatment plan for patients. She accomplishes the difficult task of being both scholarly and practical at the same time. Her book will be equally useful for students and experienced clinicians alike." - Glen O. Gabbard, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine "This comprehensive guide to planning psychotherapy is noteworthy for cutting across a broad range of treatment models and exploring universal factors that clinicians should consider in the beginning phase of psychotherapy. Peebles-Kleiger describes and illustrates the treatment planning process in a step-by-step, highly readable, and user-friendly manner while also showing how it is grounded in clinical writings and research. Any clinician or trainee who is engaged in, or learning about, the practice of psychotherapy will find Beginningsa valuable guide and an important resource." - Eda G. Goldstein, DSW, Author, When the Bubble Bursts (Analytic Press, 2005)

Synopsis
Skilled in various psychodynamic and behavioral approaches, from psychoanalysis to hypnotherapy, Peebles-Kleiger consistently advances an integrative approach that cuts across specific modalities and combines sophisticated psychodynamic understanding wit, How does the therapist begin psychotherapy? How, that is, does she conceptualize the needs of the patient while simultaneously enlisting him or her as an active partner in formulating an individualized working plan? And how should supervisors teach the skills needed to make the intake procedure truly the beginning of treatment? In Beginnings: The Art and Science of Planning Psychotherapy Mary Jo Peebles-Kleiger tackles these and other questions in an authoritative manner that draws on the cumulative experience of the outpatient department of the Menninger Psychiatric Clinic. Peebles-Kleiger's elegant synoptic discussions of the major categories of psychological dysfunction and the different treatment strategies appropriate to them are carefully calibrated, with actual examples, to the limits and opportunities of the first sessions. Of particular value is her unusual capacity to articulate patients' various difficulties in forming and maintaining an alliance, and then to show how such difficulties feed back into the clinician's interventions in the first few sessions. In this manner, she illustrates how potential treatment obstacles-- difficulties in affect regulation, in reality testing, in conscience formation, among others--can be assessed and subjected to trial interventions from the very start. Skilled in various psychodynamic and behavioral approaches, from psychoanalysis to hypnotherapy, Peebles-Kleiger consistently advances an integrative approach that cuts across specific modalities and combines sophisticated psychodynamic understanding with the fruits of empirical research. Both primer and sourcebook, Beginnings: The Art and Science of Planning Psychotherapy fills a niche in the literature so admirably that clinicians will find it indispensible in planning humanely responsive treatment in an increasingly complex therapeutic world., How does the therapist begin psychotherapy?

    The price was perfectly reasonable for the product, and the book arrived promptly and in great condition—like new, as described: the slightest bit of noticeable use and that was it. The seller wrapped it in literally 6 layers of protection (cardboard, bubble wrap, waterproof, etc.), which seemed like overkill but was much appreciated. My wife was so impressed that she demanded I leave a positive review immediately—and she was right. I’d be happy to do business with this seller again.

    The seller shipped the book quickly, tracked for added security and it arrived on time. Around 3 weeks which isn't bad at all. The book was exactly as advertised by the seller. I had no problem comunicating with the seller, he answered all my questions. He also packed the book very well so it wouldn't get damaged during shipping. It arrived as good as new. I'm very satisfied, the seller showed a very customer friendly /professional attitude. Hence my 5/5 positive feedback to him.
