This book is a practical guide to understanding a person's personality. It presents a model of six personal adaptations based on scientific research. Practicing psychotherapists and counselors, as well as specialists in the process of training, will appreciate this model as a unique tool for personal growth and support for change. The book details six adaptations and provides a framework for understanding how each adaptation is formed. It shows how you can quickly and accurately assess someone's personal adaptation. By identifying a person's personality adjustment, you gain access to a wealth of additional information about that person. For example, you will gain insight into the area through which a person prefers to make contact (thinking, feeling, or behavior), and can use this area to establish relationships of trust and mutual understanding, as well as achieve optimal results in psychotherapy and counseling.
