Will be shipped via Yu-Packet Post. Publisher: Chigensha Authors: David E. Engle / Hal Arkowitz / Mitsuyo Fujimoto Ambivalence is a state of simultaneously holding conflicting feelings or showing conflicting attitudes towards an object. It is also translated as "dual valence," "dual value," or "ambiguity." Ambivalence is one of the fundamental experiences of human beings. Hope and desire guide us towards our respective goals, but on the other hand, fear and apprehension hinder them. The ultimate result is turmoil, which often renders us powerless and prevents changes that would improve our lives. This book is a valuable clinical guidance that considers the ambivalence associated with client change, which psychotherapists of all schools have faced, as a very valuable construct for clinical psychology, and explains specific methods for overcoming and resolving it. The authors are prominent American psychologists, Dr. David E. Engle (deceased in 2021) and Dr. Hal Arkowitz (deceased in 2019). The original work is "Ambivalence in Psychotherapy" (by David E. Engle & Hal Arkowitz, A Division of Guilford Publications, Inc. ISBN978-1-59385-255-9, (c) 2006 Tile Guilford Press,). The translator is a clinical psychologist and school counselor who studied under Dr. Engle at the University of Arizona Graduate School.
