In A Path Made by Walking, the authors bring to life the basics of
Process-oriented Psychology (now called Process Work)...
...including a step-by-step introduction of terms and techniques. Their extensive worldwide learning and teaching has enabled them to present the information in a refreshingly clear and engaging way. Describing the origins, background concepts, and essential tools of Process Work, the book is filled with client-facilitator examples, stories, tips, and exercises, making skill-building accessible and enjoyable.
The case studies and exercises provide practical ideas for therapists who wish to expand their practice in new directions. With uncomplicated language, the book holds the reader’s attention throughout and demystifies many of the subtle interactions that happen within a psychotherapy session. It offers concrete ways of working with human experience, with a strong emphasis on signal-based and clearly observable phenomena.
