Synopses & Reviews
A unique synthesis of Adlerian psychology, Gestalt Therapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, PAT offers the therapist a faster method for information-gathering and shows how that information can be more beneficial. PAT uses a client's early memories as a roadmap of perceptions -- an indicator of the client's belief system and the guiding fictions that build perceptual filters to support those beliefs. These perceptions are used to identify and understand an individual's positive intents, the underlying positive desires that they really want to fulfill.
Because it offers individualized treatment in an accelerated time frame, PAT is extremely valuable for professionals working under the constraints of managed care, oversized caseloads, and stressful institutional environments. PAT is also a professional adjunct for those entering 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
