To all who offer comfort and sustenance to those in need: May you be renewed each day.

Elizabeth A. Maynard

About the Book

The goal of this book is to begin a more in-depth and broader discussion as to how using the lens of self-renewal can enrich the psychotherapy process as well as the clinician’s personal and professional life.

The emphasis on the clinician’s own self-renewal in the early chapters of the book is an outgrowth of the belief that while technique and the therapeutic relationship are of paramount importance in the treatment encounter, there is a third element that is of profound import as well: the modeling by the therapist of a respect for, and involvement in, seeking a healthier lifestyle. In this light, a clinician’s self-care is not viewed solely as benefiting the therapist alone, although the direct benefit to the helper is certainly a goal. It is also seen as having a subtle but powerful impact on the therapy process itself.

With clinician self-care and mindfulness as a bedrock of self-renewal, the remainder of the subsequent sections of the book are designed to provide new insights and perspective on self-renewal in terms of client growth and healing, therapeutic techniques, spirituality, different populations, ethics, and other challenges.

Specific key features in Self-Renewal Themes in Psychotherapy include:

Self-care for clinicians in the disaster context.

Clinical supervision and self-renewal.

Mindfulness, silence, solitude, and reflection in the life of the clinician.

Zen therapy and renewal.

Self-renewal among gay and lesbian adults.

Posttraumatic growth.

Intergenerational trauma and healing.

Patience, forgiveness, and courage in the process of self-renewal.

Renewal in marital, family, and group settings.

Spirituality, religion, and renewal.

Self-renewal with African Americans in psychotherapy.

Growth, love, and work in psychotherapy.

The positive impact of this information is not simply limited to a present specific benefit (i.e., how can I put this knowledge in play with my caseload?) alone. In a broader sense, the topics covered are designed as well to draw on the experience and wisdom of the clinicians reading this material by prompting them to also ask such questions as:

How can I more productively use the frame of “self-renewal” with different populations and presenting problems?

What topics were

not

covered in this initial effort at discussing self-renewal and clinical practice that you might develop more clearly going forward?

What are the most pressing issues that intrigue, challenge, and reward you in your own personal and professional journey that would significantly enhance your self-renewal process?

How can your own self-renewal plan be developed further—not as a duty in being healthier but as part of a pilgrimage in enjoying life—including one’s clinical practice in a much fuller way

now

?

These are but a few questions that, if truly, honestly, nonjudgmentally, and comprehensively faced, may well lead to alter and enrich how clinicians can involve themselves in the process of therapy. The impact, and living out, of insights achieved from grappling with such questions and the different approaches in this book can change the clinician and how therapy is undertaken. The lyrics (theory and technique) of the treatment may remain fairly unaltered. However, the music (modeling, relational aspects, and sense of mindfulness in play) of the clinical work may be profoundly changed, ending in surprisingly gratifying results. Once again, self-renewal is a gift therapists can give themselves. But, in the end, it is a gift that can open up those they treat to open up so much more in their lives as well and, in its essence, isn’t this what therapy is truly about?
