The Emotional Toolbox

In The Emotional Toolbox Dr. Bochner provides a fresh and accessible perspective on the most common issues of psychotherapy and mental health. This book is a Manual for Mental Health and is organized as an owners manual for the relational world which Dr. Bochner calls the great life machine. Unlike other manuals that focus on all brand-new systems functioning perfectly however The Emotional Toolbox recognizes the various types of likely breakdown that occur over time and focuses intently on helping you bring yourself to full potential. In essence The Emotional Toolbox is the Introduction to Psychology people truly want and need even though it does not include the typical Psych 101 articles on rats in mazes pellet-pecking pigeons cat-zapping contraptions or old tired theories no longer useful in modern day psychotherapy. Instead in this Manual the reader finds and feasts on expert knowledge regarding the intricacies of human interaction the vagaries of couple and family life and the ins and outs of mental health diagnosis. Dr. Bochners Emotional Toolbox addresses the most commonly encountered issues of life explains emotional difficulties and interpersonal communication at a level where the reader can feel personally understood and offers solutions and redemption where people struggle most.
