There is a special type of bodily sensation, which is our sense of situation. They are vague, indistinct, and difficult to express in words. But it is precisely these unclear sensations that serve as a kind of tuning fork. By focusing on these sensations, trying to clarify them step by step, you can cause real changes in a person’s condition and quality of life. Eugene Gendlin, a famous American psychotherapist, psychologist and philosopher, offers a method of working with such vague sensations - focusing. The book examines its basic techniques in detail, and also draws parallels with other areas of psychotherapy. The book will certainly enrich the arsenal of psychotherapists and other specialists in the “helping” professions. However, Gendlin from time to time begins a direct dialogue with the reader - regardless of profession - and invites, following him and his clients, to listen sensitively to that very holistic “breath of life” that beats in each of us.
