Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy (IRT) is a groundbreaking approach to therapy developed by Dr. Leslie S. Greenberg. IRT is designed to help individuals overcome anger, anxiety, and depression by addressing the underlying interpersonal patterns that contribute to these conditions.

IRT is based on the premise that our relationships with others play a significant role in our emotional well-being. When we experience negative or unhealthy relationships, it can lead to the development of anger, anxiety, and depression. IRT helps individuals identify and change these negative relationship patterns, leading to a more positive and fulfilling life.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to IRT, explaining the theory behind the approach and offering practical exercises and interventions. The book is divided into three parts. Part I provides an overview of IRT, including the history of the approach, the theoretical foundations, and the key principles of therapy. Part II describes the specific techniques used in IRT, such as the Emotion-Focused Chair Work and the Interpersonal Process Recall. Part III provides case studies that illustrate the application of IRT in a variety of clinical settings.

This book is an essential resource for therapists who want to learn more about IRT. It is also a valuable resource for individuals who are struggling with anger, anxiety, or depression and are looking for a new and effective way to heal.
