The control-mastery theory is an attempt to integrate an understanding of how the mind works, how psychopathologies develop, and how psychotherapy can effectively help. The practitioner must be able to identify a client's aims, respond to and encourage these thoughts, and develop a strategic therapeutic plan to effectively address the needs and wants of each individual. Transformative Relationships presents the control-mastery theory in an accessible format that appeals to a wide audience, expanding the scope of the theory beyond a simple comparison to Freudian analysis. Silberschatz summarizes the field's most recent developments through combined research and theory, and details its implications for both practice and research. «
