''Healing through meeting'' explains Martin Buber's ideas in simple terms and shows how they can offer a philosophical and ethical framework within which to hold a therapeutic conversation. A collection of therapeutic stories, based on actual case studies, is included which therapists can share with their clients. Through the telling of stories, therapists can highlight specific facets of human functioning and interaction. Clients can gain insight into their problems and so make choices about their future direction. John Gunzburg shares his skills in composing therapeutic stories and encourages therapists to formulate their own stories out of their and their clients' experiences. In so doing, the wisdom that is to be found within the therapy room can be shared.
Part 1 Existentialism; phenomenology; humanism; Martin Buber - his life and ideas; Buber's contribution to the therapeutic conversation; meeting; imagining the real and inclusion; confirmation; a personal reflection. Part 2 Bibliotherapy - the art of book-healing; the power story; mapping the therapeutic conversation; the systematic map; the structural map; the developmental map; the psychodynamic map; the communicational map; the transgenerational map; the analytic - 'reductive into parts' map; the feminist map; the holistic map; the spiritual map. Part 3 Creating tales of empowerment; the learning levels of Gregory Bateson and Buber's genuine dialogue; the quality of the therapeutic conversation; structuring tales of empowerment. Appendices: Love, pain and the whole damn thing - a marital history in verse; some useful questions.
It is my hope that by reading this work, you will find the new ideas and learnings that will occur will enrich your lives as you will find courage and greater strengths inspired by the stories told.
