Based on original research and practice, Prouty describes the changes needed to reach low-functioning clients not generally accessible to psychotherapy. Evolving from Carl Rogers' assertion that Psychological Contact is the first condition of a therapeutic relationship, Pre-Therapy is a technique that can be applied to regressed psychotics and dual-diagnosed mentally-retarded patients, as well as to other poorly integrated populations. Drawing from his own practice with extreme clients, he shows how Pre-Therapy can be used to facilitate these pre-conditions of therapy. He further shows that treatment of hallucinations reveals them to be expressions of deep trauma and profound rendings of the self-structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praeger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45087475138711,"sku":"9780275945435","price":9514.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780275945435.webp?v=1767266720","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/theoretical-evolutions-in-person-centered-experiential-therapy-applications-to-schizophrenic-and-retarded-psychoses-9780275945435","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
