Book: Magic Moments Quantum Leaps — Reflections and Dialogues with Masters of Psychotherapy
R$ 86,90
This book is an inquiry into what truly happens in psychotherapy—what makes it such a fundamental process for the mental, emotional, and psychological transformation of our clients—and, perhaps, transforms the very way psychotherapy is practiced. *Magic Moments* are the pivotal instances of change in psychotherapy; through them, healing, learning, insight, or even a simple pearl of wisdom may occur, leading to personal growth, development, and maturation.
Featured in this book are exceptional interviews with key figures in modern psychology, including Carl Rogers, Virginia Satir, Robert Nemiroff, Eugene Gendlin, Erving Polster, John Grinder, and Robert Stein. They share with us profound insights and lessons regarding psychotherapy and the process of mental, emotional, and psychological change. This makes the book essential reading for both beginners and experienced therapists alike. *Magic Moments* are experiences that defy verbal description. When they occur, time seems to stand still, and a profound stillness envelops those involved. Therapist and client enter a mental state distinct from everyday reality, losing awareness of everything around them—even the chairs they are sitting in, the room they occupy, and, at times, even their own bodies. They float within the moment, losing all sense of time and space, as the mind becomes the sole instrument guiding the healing process. It is a state of intense focus characterized by fluidity, harmony, unity, flexibility, spontaneity, detachment, and great objectivity. Client and therapist enter “the zone”—a state of flow, total immersion, focused energy, and complete engagement with—and enjoyment of—what is unfolding. One client poetically described one of these shared moments to me, saying: “It is as if an extra moment exists within time—a moment where everything stops, and stillness takes hold.”
