How Psychotherapy Works synthesizes recent science to provide an accessible, practical, and clinically relevant understanding of the infrastructure underlying the hundreds of therapies in current use. In joining the best of modern neuroscience with a warm-hearted understanding of human troubles, the book guides beginning and experienced therapists to better therapy through clarity about what is happening now and what to do next.Both groundbreaking and paradigmatic, the book extends modern concepts of memory reconsolidation and thinking fast and slow to bring to light the nonconscious world where problematic patterns are frozen in time, waiting for empathic connection with a therapist. The final section of the book gives the reader a simple but sophisticated, science-based set of questions to apply to real-world pathology and therapeutic goals.

Goldfried, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology (ret.), Stony Brook University“In this highly engaging and unifying guide, Dr. Jeffery Smith distills decades of wisdom into clear principles that demystify the therapeutic process. Bridging across schools of thought, he offers therapists from beginner to experienced practitioner both confidence and practical direction. A must read for anyone seeking to understand how psychotherapy truly fosters healing and growth.”Dilip Jeste, MD, past president of the American Psychiatric Association, president elect, World Federation for Psychotherapy“The future of psychotherapy depends upon people like Jeffery Smith. This is an important book.”Mark Solms, PhD, director of neuropsychology, Neuroscience Institute, University of Cape Town“Few have been as dedicated as Dr. Smith to the work of bringing together rival schools of psychotherapy.
