Brief Overview of Dialogical Psychotherapy

This brief work introduces Dialogical Psychotherapy. Dialogical Psychotherapy is an approach to working with others that begins with genuine dialogue. As an overview, this work discusses the history and features of this interesting approach to counseling and psychotherapy. Based upon foundational elements drawn from the work of Martin Buber, Maurice Friedman, and Hans Trub, as well as dialogical therapists, the work introduces Dialogical Psychotherapy to counselors, psychotherapists, and other helpers in the helping profession. Written by a graduate of the Institute of Dialogical Psychotherapy and a practicing psychotherapist, this work makes suggestions about clinical practice as well as paving the way to more in-depth works that interested readers can pursue further.
