Demonstrating the clinical uses of a focus on nonverbal interaction, the book describes powerful techniques for working with the emotional responses and bodily experiences of patient and therapist alike.

Absolutely unforgettable book. It transforms the way therapists think about and conduct their work. It grounds contemporary interpersonal psychoanalysis and object relations techniques in solid empirical research in attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology.
