This title combines the many schools of thought on psychotherapy into one reader-friendly guide that coaches psychotherapists through the various techniques needed as the field expands. Unlike any other book on the market, this text considers all of the simultaneous advances in the field, including the neurobiology of emotions, the importance of the therapeutic relationship, mindfulness meditation, and the role of the body in healing. Written with genuine respect for all traditions from CBT to psychodynamics, the book unifies views of psychopathology and cure based on the notion of the mind-brain as an organ of affect regulation. The book accounts for the tasks that characterize psychotherapist activity in all therapies, how they are performed, and how they result in therapeutic change. The book also reviews the various pathologies seen in general practice and guides the reader to the specific therapist-patient interactions needed for their resolution.
With its big-picture focus on clinical practice, Psychotherapy: A Practical Guide is a concise resource for students, psychotherapists, psychologists, residents, and all who seek to integrate what is new in psychotherapy.

This book was quite informative and helpful for me as a clinician and researcher. I love the focus on affect avoidance. I found the affect avoidance model to really capture well my experience working with clients. I imagine using this model would be quite advantageous in terms of assessing mechanisms of change in the "name-brand" therapies out there.
I also appreciated the developmental perspective on clients' difficulties. The book describes how maladaptive behaviors and schema were often adaptive at one point or at least derive from an adaptive and purposeful origin. I think this helps to ward off the "hermeneutic of suspicion" present in some of the psychoanalytic worldview and enable therapists to maintain Rogerian empathy and positive regard for their clients. I similarly appreciated the book’s incorporation of resistance into this framework as an oft adaptive drive to avoid painful affects.
This book put words to what I found myself doing naturally with clients and helped me to find a language for thinking about the process of change in therapy. It helped me to develop a framework for integrating what I was learning in psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral supervision, and I found the simple, yet elegant, descriptions of psychological processes quite useful in my own work with my clients. All in all, I found the book both intellectually stimulating and quite applicable to my own work with my clients.

A thoughtful, integrative guide to psychotherapy from a wise and seasoned psychiatrist. Jeffery Smith demonstrates charity to all therapies that work and malice only toward the rigid and ineffective. His emphasis on entrenched dysfunctional patterns and affect avoidance will prove useful to practitioners of all professions and persuasions.

This book is an excellent guide for students of psychotherapy. I found it very practical and I think it can be very useful for beginners, who do not want to "swallow" one psychotherapy "ideology". For those who want to practice psychotherapy their own way and at the same time need some guidance in the beginning of their carrier. I will use this book when teaching my students at the university and also in the training of psychotherapy integration.
