Biography

G. Erskine, Richard

"Erskine creates a book based on his eight principles that both educates on individual psychological processes and exemplifies the weaving that is integrational psychotherapy. Its place is held by being a citable proof to the value of psychotherapy and the methods within it."— Kevin Jeffrey Goldwater, Somatic Psychotherapy Today
