Know about the book -

Curing Psychological Symptoms is written by Henry Kellerman and published by American Mental Health Foundation. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1590566041 (ISBN 10) and 9781590566046 (ISBN 13).

"In this book, written for clinicians as well as the curious general reader, Kellerman examines psychological symptoms such as migraines, phobias, compulsions-the symptom code-in view of the four truly empowering things we need to know about them. The reader is guided through these four related to all emotional problems: the wishes, the anger, the who, and the to do. "The fantastic fact is that psychotherapists have never really had a map or an instruction manual that they all could follow so that any symptom could be unlocked and cured," Dr. Kellerman writes. "Even though psychotherapists know a great deal about the processes of psychotherapeutic treatment, the sad fact is that nowhere is there any spelled-out technique that therapists systematically use to penetrate the symptom and then cure it." This book is far more than a technical treatise. It considers ten fascinating cases to show how Dr. Kellerman's methods have worked over some fifty-five years of private practice. A majority among the profiled do not require medication, some do. Rather than discussing "the cure," Dr. Kellerman employs the far-more-realistic therapeutic goal of struggling better, a faithful reflection of what the therapeutic process is about"--
