Synopsis

Dr. Elaine Aron's book Psychotherapy and the Highly Sensitive Person redefines the term "highly sensitive" for the professional researcher and practitioner. She dispels common misconceptions about the relationship between sensitivity and other personality traits, such as introversion and shyness, and further defines the trait for the benefit of both the clinician and patient. Listeners will learn to assess for the trait, distinguish it from clinical diagnoses such as panic disorder or avoidant personality disorder, understand how sensitivity may change the presentation of a problem such as depression or shyness, and generally inform, validate, and improve the quality of life for these clients. She pays particular attention to self-esteem issues and helping patients separate effects of their innate temperament from problems due to their personal learning histories. Dr. Aron keeps both patient and practitioner in mind as she suggests ways to adapt treatment for highly sensitive persons and how to deal with the typical issues that arise. Through this helpful guide, therapists will see a marked improvement in their ability to assist highly sensitive clients.

First, I applaud Aron for taking on this challenging perspective of dealing with people who are highly sensitive.

Goodreads review by Liliana on August 26, 2023

While I do see the value in understanding sensitivity and people that are more affected by stimulus than others, this book kind of lost me in its categorisation... A good example of this is how seriously they take the survey question "when you feel happy, is this a very strong feeling sometimes?". I......more

Goodreads review by Farhana on February 07, 2022

I listened to this just out of curiosity not realizing based on almost everything mentioned in this book I'd be classified as a sensitive person (LOL).. I guess. I found the entire book very interesting and informative. I don't think anyone should define themselves as a sensitive person, it just is......more

A very interesting and useful read, as a therapist this booked helped me a lot understand how sensitives people feel and think. It has plenty of examples, situations, dialogues that facilitates reading and deepen knowledge.......more
