Richard Hill - The Practitioner’s Guide to Mirroring Hands: A Client-Responsive Therapy That Facilitates Natural Problem Solving and Mind-Body Healing

Picasso once remarked that art is the elimination of the unnecessary. Ernest L. Rossis Mirroring Hands method is brilliant in its simplicity and elimination of the unnecessary, yet is complex beyond belief in the results it can engender. This method can eliminate any resistance you may encounter in the change process and can evoke deep inner wisdom, often in a very short time.

Richard Hill has facilitated and expanded this guide to using Mirroring Hands in such a way that makes it accessible for all.

Within the crucible of a technique Hill and Rossi call Mirroring Hands, The Practitioners Guide to Mirroring Hands shares a storehouse of practical insight, scientific theory, and clinical wisdom. In the process they challenge accepted assumptions and synthesize complex principles, all the while encouraging clinicians to learn to listen to their inner voice.

The Practitioners Guide to Mirroring Hands is a warm and fascinating adventure in which you get to know two explorers of the mind and learn about the history of psychotherapy while gaining practical knowledge. You may not agree with everything the authors say, but I suspect that you will respect and enjoy their unique blend of complexity, depth, and self-insight so often missing from contemporary discussions.
