| Sumario: | Presentación editorial: "This book is an attempt to repair the schism between research and practice in psychotherapy. Both practitioners and researchers have expert knowledge, but they seek and present their respective expertise in different venues. Put bluntly, many clinicians are not reading research journals and most researchers do not pay sufficient attention to practitioners' observations and expertise (published or not) about how to conduct therapy. This book brings researchers and clinicians together, not only to learn from each other, but also to collaborate in creating new, synergetic, and evidence-based knowledge about how to understand and improve psychotherapy. It does so by delineating empirically based principles of change that have been linked to client's improvement (or lack of thereof), and by illustrating in vivid details how experienced therapists from different theoretical orientations implement such principles in their clinical practice with cases of varying complexity and presentation. Furthermore, the book engages researchers and clinicians in exchanges about theoretical convergences, clinical helpfulness, and future research directions regarding these principles of change"
