Summary
Mary McClure Goulding, Robert Goulding: Changing Life
Redecision Therapy
A classic book in which Mary and Robert Goulding, the creators of redecision therapy, presented their theory and practice for the first time. This approach is a combination of Transactional Analysis (TA) and Gestalt therapy, and the book is full of transcripts of therapeutic conversations and practical advice.
In the introductory text, the authors say that the book is written to teach therapists how to heal people, but also to help people heal themselves: - "We teach people how to manage their own feelings instead of deluding themselves that others have made them angry, sad, depressed, anxious, enraged, confused or
The authors combine many approaches and methods, including transactional analysis, gestalt, interactive group psychotherapy and desensitization, and in their work they are interested in and teach anything that works - anything that effectively helps people to stop being phobic, to turn their anxiety into enthusiasm, to stop being compulsive or depressed, and to enjoy life instead.
How clarity TA and the power of gestalt techniques make therapy a new decision?
What is life scenario psychotherapy?
What fateful decisions do we make in childhood and early youth?
How do these decisions affect our later life?
How can these decisions be changed?
During my training with Goulding, I was taught that therapy can be short, fun, and at the same time very deep and successful.
