Alvin R. Mahrer, Ph.D.

Here's a brief method of exploring self-guided therapy featuring a gentle four-step personal therapeutic method with roots in the humanistic and Gestalt psychotherapy of Rogers and Maslow. Written in a step-by-step style, this book leads the reader through "therapeutic sessions", which allow the self-exploration of remembered scenes of strong emotion. The book then trains the reader to use the scenes to achieve a transformation that generates renewed strength and resilience.
