Learning Emotion-Focused Therapy: The Process Experiential Approach to Change

Learning Emotion-Focused Therapy: The Process Experiential Approach to Change is the 2009 landmark hardcover that turned Leslie S. Greenberg’s decades of clinical research into a step-by-step roadmap for therapists, counselors, and advanced students. At 366 pages, this richly referenced volume distills the “how” of emotion-focused therapy (EFT)—one of the fastest-growing evidence-based modalities—into vivid session transcripts, reproducible worksheets, and moment-by-moment maps that show exactly how to help clients move from emotional avoidance to adaptive transformation. The durable hardback binding and intact dust jacket make it a desk-worthy resource that will survive years of supervision groups and graduate seminars, while the spacious margins invite highlighting and annotation.
What sets this particular copy apart is the personal handwriting scattered through the front matter—an inscribed treasure that signals the previous owner was a practitioner who actually used the text in real sessions. Those handwritten notes stop at the text proper, leaving the remaining pages crisp and unmarked for your own insights. For trainees, these marginalia can act like a silent mentor, hinting at key points to watch for; for seasoned clinicians, they offer a fascinating glimpse into how another therapist internalized Greenberg’s methods.
Collectors and course instructors alike prize the 2009 first edition because it contains the original terminology and experiential tasks that were slightly refined in later printings. Whether you are building a psychology reference library, preparing for EFT certification, or searching for a graduate-school text that doubles as a future heirloom, this inscribed, jacketed hardcover delivers both intellectual substance and tangible character—an immediately usable guide to helping clients heal through the power of emotion.
