Focusing Eugene T Gendlin 9780553278330 Books

This book (Focusing by Eugene T. Gendlin) is actually aimed at professional therapists even though anyone can learn some interesting techniques in handling their own internal problems and conflicts. This paperback edition begins with an introduction to the 25th anniversary edition by the author, followed by an introduction to the first edition (Focusing: A tool for changing times) by Marilyn Ferguson.

The four parts includes the following: Unlocking the wisdom of your body explaining the inner act, change and what the body knows. The second part explains the Focusing theory which is longest section because it goes into details how the system works. The third part deals with “people helping each other” with using the focusing therapy method. The final part covers focusing and society.
There is also an appendix section that should also be read which also covers a summary of the six steps to follow in practicing focusing.

If you are in therapy or you are a therapist this book may be a valuable aid for those in the field. Even though I personally did not see much value in this book; nevertheless, I intend to pass on this book to some of my friends who are certified social worker therapists.

Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute).

Focusing Eugene T Gendlin 9780553278330 Books Reviews

Gendlin has written a timeless work of art. Focusing is becoming aware of feeling or emotion and paying attention to it, not engaging with it or trying to do something with it, just noticing it, then try to find a word that describes the feeling, hard, pressure, bingo, the word has freed the emotion and released it. It works every time and is awesome for self discovery and personal growth. What a gem.
How I missed this book in my various searching for "answers" is beyond me. It's a fabulous and wonderful now classic. AND as a result of the profundity of the message, an entire world wide community has risen which can be found online and at conferences around the world.
A fantastic read and self help book. I read this during a 3 day power outage. (Lol, I read it in a few hours). If you are good at focusing and concentrating this book will help you deal with everything from stress to you name it. It helped cure me of a lifelong issue with insomnia.
Tuned in to others, I needed a little help tuning into my own feelings. Gendlin told me why and how. Herbert Benson taught me how to meditate and Eugene T. Genlin taught me how to focus. It's that simple. The results, for me, have been profound. I'm not one to go around recommending something just because it works for me. But after twenty years of benefiting from the simple process in this book, I begin to feel that I ought to share something so good. So, here you go.
I wish I could help everyone to understand how to do this. It's a "miracle" way of knowing yourself, and yet, I have been unconsciously doing it for years. Not to this extent, of course, and with this understanding. My guess is that many people are naturals at this, but don't know it and don't know how to use it for their good
Eugene Gendlin is the man who "developed" the method that's called "focusing," so by reading this book, you're getting the original developer's approach, and it's *great* stuff! Having said that, it also takes practice and personal exploration to learn more about yourself and how you work inside. I highly recommend reading more from two sources on the Web focusing.org, where you'll find more by Eugene Gendlin and others who have also contributed to the advancement and diversifying of the original methods, and focusingresources.com, where Ann Weiser Cornell (one of Eugene Gendlin's most advanced students, who has developed her own strengths and insights extremely well) offers another treasure trove of insight and resources. She is particularly good at noticing subtle differences in how we use language, and those subtle differences play a very powerful role in getting stuck and getting unstuck! Even still, I encourage everyone to continue exploring on your own. Don't stop here!
6 stars. Gendlin, a student of Carl Rogers, took things a few steps further than his mentor, in a technological direction.

Make no mistake, focusing is a technology or technique that can be taught to anyone of average or above average intelligence who has guts and some inclination toward introspection. It's not something that fits everyone.

If you are ineluctably stupid or self-deceiving, this won't help you. As an ineluctably stupid or dishonest person, you won't recognize yourself as such, and will think this book is meant for you.You will buy it and put it aside nearly immediately. That's ok--you've helped boost its rank on . It's about time you did something nice for other people. </snark>

Focusing is said to be meditational. Which I guess it is. But I'd almost call it anti-meditational. If traditional clear your mind meditation bores or repels you, focusing is not that. It is highly intentional, active and verbal. The whole point is to drag up what's not verbal within you and make it verbal. "Drag" sounds a little harsh, and focusing is not harsh--maybe dredge is a better word?

If you've ever wanted to be a writer, envied how they express things that you were only dimly aware of thinking the same thing until they said it, focusing is for you.

And focusing is fun. It is designed specifically to give you a doggy treat at the end of most sessions The "A-ha!" moment of insight that you spend $200 a week with a therapist to get now and then.

It is also very practical You can bring it to bear on immediate practical issues and I have found that it brings me to much better immediate problem-solving I have no idea how to handle this meeting in the morning. And it's really wonderful for slightly bigger questions. Should I change my career? What do I do next about my problem adult child? My boss is driving me crazy, how do I handle him better? I'm afraid my spouse doesn't care for me anymore.

I've never gotten bad advice or made a major screw-up because of focusing. Your mileage may vary.
