The introduction and the twenty-one chapters in this book reflect the ongoing development and refinement of Relational and Integrative Psychotherapy. Each chapter amalgamates ideas from several theoretical frame works: Client-Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Contemporary Psychoanalysis, and Psychoanalytic Self-Psychology, as well as inter-subjective and co-creative perspectives.The theory of 'Life Script' serves as a unifying theme to elaborate the concepts of unconscious experience, attachment and relational patterns, the essentialness of contact-in-relationship, and the centrality of relational-needs in the practice of psychotherapy. This book begins with eight philosophical assumptions essential in the practice of a relational psychotherapy. Integrated throughout the chapters is a sensitivity to both normal developmental processes and the psychological compensations that occur when there has been prolonged neglect and psychological trauma. Several case presentations illustrate the use of phenomenological and historical inquiry, developmental and rhythmic attunement, and the importance of therapeutic presence.

Relational Patterns, Therapeutic Presence: Concepts and Practice of Integrative Psychotherapy, by Richard G. Erskine

Review 'This book is a delight. Indeed, it is the best book I have ever read on psychotherapy with individual patients: ideal for teaching trainees, and at the same time a refresher and an inspiration for the seasoned. It should become recognized as a classic. Developed over many years of practice and theoretical deliberations, Richard Erskine's approach is indeed integrative, developmentally attuned, intersubjective, and co-constructed.'- James R. Allen, MD, MPH, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Rainbolt Family Chair in Child Psychiatry, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, USA; former President, International Transactional Analysis Association'Many of our colleagues and trainees have been requesting a book like this one. It is an excellent collection of psychotherapeutic essays that offers a thorough explanation of theoretical concepts, a deep understanding of clients' unconscious relational patterns and psychological needs, and an opportunity to learn how to create a profoundly respectful therapeutic relationship. Reading the essays in this book provided me with new insights, increased my empathy, and renewed my faith in our psychotherapy profession.'- Amaia Mauriz-Etxabe, clinical psychologist and Director, Bios Psychotherapy Institute, Bilbao, Spain'Richard Erskine's contribution to the theory and practice of psychotherapy has been enormous, and this volume brings together more than forty years of innovative thought. The book is a deep and coherent narrative which describes the theory and practice of the integrative approach developed by Erskine and his colleagues. In addition, there is a wealth theoretical discussion about transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, attachment theory, and self psychology, as well as aspects of psychoanalytic theory and neuroscience. The book is a treasure chest for integrative and transactional analysis psychotherapists alike.'- Professor Charlotte Sills, Metanoia Institute, UK, and Ashridge Business School, UK'Throughout this wonderful book, Richard Erskine fully demonstrates his skillful, innovative, and creative thinking. The focus of the book is relationally based integrative psychotherapy, exploring unconscious relational patterns (life scripts), relationships and attachment process, how healing occurs through the therapeutic relationship, and how the psychotherapist's job is to decode the unconscious story that has been revealed through the client's bodily reactions, relational crises, and intrapsychic conflicts. This stimulating and exciting work shows how each of these themes are applied within the clinical setting.'- Bob Cooke, TSTA, psychotherapist, supervisor, international trainer, and founder of the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy, UK

By Richard Relational Patterns, Therapeutic Presence:Concepts and Practice of Integrative Psychotherapy. By Richard G. Erskine. Published by Karnac Books, London, 2015Reviewed by John Paradise, Exeter, UKPublished in the TRANSACTIONAL ANALYST,VOLUME 5: Issue 3: Summer 2015. page 22-24.In reviewing Relational Patterns,Therapeutic Presence, I am acutely aware I will likely miss out aspects of the book, for this is a review and not a condensing of the work. I find this in itself nteresting, noting what I have not included. The book undoubtedly offers a relational therapy approach. Aspects of what Erskine describes as IntegrativePsychotherapy bear some correlation with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which isn’t surprising given the latter has some of its roots in Gestalt therapy, which Erskine also draws upon in this work.The key themes explored through this book are attunement, the transferential domain and unconscious patterns of relating, with Erskine linking attachment patterns (Bowlby, 1979) to script, script protocol andpalimpsest (Berne, 1966). Relational Patterns, Therapeutic Presence has a focus on script psychotherapy. To quote Erskine: ‘In the psychotherapy of life scripts it is important that the psychotherapist understand and appreciate that life scripts are a desperate and creativeattempt to self-regulate while managing and adjusting tothe failures that occurred in significant and dependentrelationships throughout life.’ (p111).Erskine makes much mention of therapeutic involvement and attunement. Maybe we all have our own understanding of what this means, however Erskine makes clear through the examples given that therapeutic involvement is more than just being present with a client.My understanding is therapeutic involvement means paying attention to the client, to oneself and to the relationship. To properly attune to the affect and rhythm of the client, involvement is more than listening to words; it can include hearing what is not said as well as that which might be hidden or encoded within words: signs from the unconscious. Erskine encapsulates for me a vital rule for any therapist to remember, and why I often struggle when hearing elaborate therapeutic interpretation of a client’s experience. Erskine states (p161) that he ‘... knows nothing about the client’s experience or inner life, his observations and theories are mere impressions. The impressions alone do not tell enough about what it is like to be in the other’s experience. Therefore ongoing phenomenological inquiry is required to discover the client’s perspective, feelings and what they need in a therapeutic relationship.’In his writing Erskine is faced with the challenge of putting into words how he attunes to the client, what I regard as paying exquisite attention to a client. Over the course of the book, an understanding of what attunement is, and the therapeutic benefits of it, develops. Chaptersone to three offer a theoretical perspective on integrative psychotherapy through attunement and involvement. Having set out an initial theoretical perspective, Erskine continues in subsequent chapters to soundly illustrate the ideas presented with both case vignettes and transcriptswhich bring the theory presented to life. In thinking about script, Erskine suggests that script formation subsequently informs the infant’s frame of reference. Perhaps this will seem obvious to some and yet it wasn’tsomething I had previously considered. Once formulate and adopted, script beliefs influence what internal and external stimuli are attended to, how they are interpreted, and whether or not they are acted upon. A notion I suspect I will find helpful in my clinical work.I particularly like the theory the book offers on script, describing script as an unconscious organisation of experience. Erskine offers an additional and complementary view to classical theory on script,suggesting that script is more than explicit decisions. ‘Not all life scripts are based on parental injunctions or script decisions, contrary to what is emphasized in much of the literature on script theory. Unconscious conclusionsbased on lived experience account for a major portion of life scripts. Implicit experiential conclusions are composed of unconscious affect, physical and relational reactions that are without concept, language, sequencing of events, or conscious thought. (p96).In my own practice I have always paid acute attention to a client’s affect, physiology, words, metaphor and much more. I assumed that much of my own style was because of my NLP and clinical hypnotherapy background. This attention to the client is always therapeutically important for me, in order to gain insight into the client’s internalexperience. Now Erskine has helped me understand with his integrative psychotherapy approach why such attunement to the client is vital to decoding a client’s script decisions and relational patterns, in order to offer an effective psychotherapy. His writing places a great deal of emphasis on the unconscious encoded information from the client carried into the therapeutic relationship. Through attention to the therapist’s own process, and to valuable yet often subtle physiologicalclues, the client’s script beliefs can eventually be identified. Through contact and skilled attunement from the therapist, the client’s early implicit decisions can be bought to Adult awareness.Erskine pays much attention to that which is hidden, and yet is there to be discovered, for the skilled relational therapist, by paying attention tobody language, transference, body sensations and the client’s story.This is about listening to more than what is said. This is about attunement to the client as a way of understanding script decisions and beliefs. Relational Patterns, Therapeutic Presence dealsat some depth with Child and Parent ego states. I found it particularly helpful to read the ideas presented for working with the intrapsychic conflict caused by introjection of the Parent. Through the later chapters of the book, Erskine offers a brief review ofexisting theory of the Parent before developing his own ideas and presenting them within the cases of the ‘devil’ and Anne-Marie. The importance of his therapeutic relationship, his patience and the safety heprovides is of itself worth a specific mention I feel. While understanding the importance of establishing a good working alliance, I found it both helpful and surprising to read Erskine’s case examples and note justhow long he often gives to developing the therapeutic relationship, eighteen months being given as an example.To summarise, I have found this book helpful to have as a theoretical framework and validation as I develop my own style of psychotherapy. It is one of the most helpful books I have read in terms of furthering my own psychotherapeutic practice. The one question I have is whether Erskine’s integrative psychotherapy approach can be useful for any short-term therapeutic work. While I am sure there will be those who disagree philosophically, I find it helpful to hold in mind Erskine’sbelief that script cure is the primary goal of an integrative psychotherapy. To borrow a phrase from NLP this is ‘a’ rule it is not ‘the’ rule.ReferencesBowlby, J. (1979) The Making and Breaking of Affectional Bonds. Oxon: RoutledgeBerne, E.
