Purchase options and add-ons

Written for therapists, Co-Creating Change shows what to do to help "stuck" patients (those who resist the therapy process) let go of their resistance and self-defeating behaviors and willingly co-create a relationship for change instead. Co-Creating Change includes clinical vignettes that illustrate hundreds of therapeutic impasses taken from actual sessions, showing how to understand patients and how to intervene effectively. The book provides clear, systematic steps for assessing patients' needs and intervening to develop an effective relationship for change. Co-Creating Change presents an integrative theory that uses elements of behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, emotion-focused therapy, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness. This empirically validated treatment is effective with a wide range of patients.
Co-Creating Change: Effective Dynamic Techniques has won the First Prize in Psychiatry at the British Medical Book Awards.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a brilliant master class. It demonstrates how to work collaboratively with patients safely, compassionately, and effectively to achieve successful outcomes."
David Malan, DM, FRCPsych, author of Individual Psychotherapy and the Science of Psychodynamics

"An incredibly useful book . . . Offers crystal clear and highly practical therapy techniques with plenty of transcript examples. Good for new and advanced practitioners of any therapeutic orientation."
Leslie Greenberg PhD, author of Emotion-Focused Therapy

"The multiple clinical transcripts are inspiring, helpful, and often tremendously moving. No one does a better job explaining how and when to focus on emotions, anxiety, and defenses or in integrating psychotherapeutic technique with the latest research on neurobiology, attachment, and emotion. Co-Creating Change deserves to be read by both novice and experienced psychotherapists alike."
Stephen E. Finn, PhD, founder, Center for Therapeutic Assessment, Austin, Texas

"Co-Creating Change is an invaluable source book for all therapists wanting to do work that is highly collaborative and deeply affecting. From a solid base in theory and research, Jon Frederickson deals with the nitty-gritty of therapy, outlining treatment strategies and interventions that can help therapists increase their effectiveness across a wide spectrum of patients." --Patricia Coughlin, Ph.D, Faculty, University of New Mexico; Author: Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy

5.0 out of 5 stars Co-Creating Change should be in every psychotherapist's bookshelf.
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
If I had been able to buy Co-Creating Change when I first got licensed as a therapist, or better yet when I was studying in school, I would have enjoyed many more years of clarity about what I was doing and why. I would have known more about how to truly effect deep psychological healing in many of my clients.

The Author, Jon Frederickson, is a very clear thinker and he lays out the psychodynamic model he uses transparently and simply in this book. What's more, you and your client/patient share the same language and can really look at the defenses that are creating his/her suffering. The therapeutic work is experiential in the consulting room. Change happens in the "now" but the insights that can be realized through the model laid out in this book are life changing.

Jon reads all the literature on neuroscience and that research is laid down in this book (with copious references) to make the method more understandable. Buy this book! You won't be sorry and neither will your clients. My goal is to, as Jon says, "make every statement I make invite the patient to co-create a relationship for change with me."

5.0 out of 5 stars Monumental Accomplishment
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2013
Verified Purchase
Every student of psychotherapy is well advised to study deeply the principles elaborated in Co-Creating Change. The essential skills detailed in this book by the brilliant mind of master therapist and trainer Jon Frederickson make it possible to effect character change and penetrate defenses in an accelerated manner. I don't know of a more effective approach to achieve outstanding therapeutic results. I've had the pleasure to know Jon Frederickson for many years and can honestly say that I have never had a conversation with him that hasn't opened doors of awareness. This is the highest compliment I can pay. Those who are seeking clinical excellence are most fortunate to have access to this book, a sure-to-be classic in the field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and Practical
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is a tour-de-force by Jon Fredrickson, presenting Intensive Short Term Dynamic Therapy in theory and practice. The author's attention to the details of the interactions between stimulus, feeling, anxiety, and defense is remarkable. It will help the psychotherapy professional not only understand but address a wide range of manifestations of client difficulties with compassion, skill, and efficiency.

The intended audience is clearly psychotherapists,and the book is written as a combination how-to and why-to manual, drawing on psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, and brain research. The lay public may find it heavy going, but psychotherapy clients may find benefit in using it to understand more about how they respond to problems and what they and their therapists can do about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
A book of remarkable depth and scope, Co-Creating Change is a must-read for practicing mental health professionals. Jon Frederickson, MSW, has the ability to make the complexities of the triangle of conflict - how feelings give rise to anxiety, which in turn triggers defenses that cause presenting problems - readily intelligible, with theoretical concepts being clarified through illustrations taken from real-life clinical vignettes. Moreover, the writing itself is exceptionally clear and lucid, making this masterful work a pleasure to read. Co-Creating Change is very highly recommended for anyone who wants to deepen his or her understanding of the human condition, and of the possibilities for healing the wounds of the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!

I would have to name this "The Essential ISTDP Text". After having studied and practiced ISTDP FOR 3 years, this book has really helped me to ground my skills into an easy to understand theoretical framework which has given me more confidence and competence as a therapist. Jon has achieved this by giving detailed explanations about the theory, using some great sample vignettes with explanatory text to tie theory with practice, and some great procedural flowcharts. Even if you are not a therapist, this book will help you make sense of why we do what we do and how we play that out in our relationships. Fabulous!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book that I have read on psychotherapy so far!
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful book on psychotherapy and answers many questions that other books have failed to answer. It's also the best book on ISTDP that I have ever read in that it is organized in a very efficient manner. The other books that I read on ISDTD are good but they also made me feel like I was walking into a movie that was half over. Jon starts with the basics and builds up incrementally. I have used these techniques with my patients and seen very good results. Finally a book that teaches how to help patients tap into and process the unresolved feelings that are holding them back!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book that goes straight to the point
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
The techniques contained in this book are important and will make your therapy sessions much more focused and effective.

Much easier to read and grasp than Davanloo's own books, but, like with Davanloos' books, I'm left missing a bit more cohesion and perhaps introductory background behind the presented techniques, presenting the roots of the techniques in attachment theory, etc.; like Davanloos books, Jon goes pretty straight to the action, which of course is in keeping with ISTDP. :)

I also heartily recommend the author's earlier book, Learning to Listen from Multiple Perspectives, as well as his instruction videos and audio tapes.

Co-Creating Change ist ein sehr gutes Lehrbuch für angehende und erfahrene Psychotherapeuten. Es gibt nur wenige Psychotherapielehrbücher, die dermaßen anschaulich klinische Phänomene und die jeweils passenden Interventionen beschreiben. Ich habe mir zwei Exemplare gekauft, eines für die Praxis und eines für zuhause. Ich lese immer wieder darin und lerne jedesmal etwas. Es wäre schön, wenn es eine deutsche Übersetzung gäbe.

5.0 out of 5 stars 短期力動療法の名著と思うので翻訳希望
Reviewed in Japan on December 31, 2021
Verified Purchase
短期力動療法の理論、見立ての方法、介入の仕方などについて、系統的に論じられた名著だと思います。
・セラピーをもっと短期間で効果的に実践できるようになりたい
・よりシャープに的確にセラピーでのポイントを掴みたい
・体系立てて短期力動療法系の基礎理論から理解し、かつ介入にも違和感なく繋げられるような治療アプローチを学びたい
そうした方にはぜひオススメの一冊です。

秀逸なのは、防衛や不安とのワークや転移抵抗、性格防衛や退行、防衛感情の取り扱い方などについての、初学者でもわかるような「説明のうまさ」と「簡潔さ」と「痒いところまで手が届く説明の詳細さ」だと思います。
Nat Kuhnの短期力動療法のハンドブックや、マッカローの『Treating Affect Phobia』などと合わせて読めば、臨床の力が大幅にアップすること間違いなしです。
ただし、印象としてあまり陽性転移とポジティブ感情の扱いに積極的ではないように感じました。ですので、愛着志向の心理療法をする方にはその点物足りなさを感じられるかもしれません。僕はそう感じました。この辺りはやはりフォーシャやマッカローの方が読んでいて勉強になりました。
いずれにしても、これほどまでにまとまりのある、わかりやすさと知識の深さを両立した名著には中々出会わないのではないかと思います。
ぜひ翻訳されて欲しいなと思います。
