Method of Levels (MOL) therapy is an exciting innovation on the mental health landscape. It harnesses the active ingredients of many well-established therapies, but it is distinct in its conceptualisation of the way our mental health can be disrupted and how that disruption can be resolved efficiently and effectively. MOL is a-diagnostic, making it broadly applicable to any problem, in a way which is destigmatising. It is informed by a rigorous, scientific theory (Perceptual Control Theory, PCT) and has been used in a variety of contexts and in different countries. At the moment, there are four key texts for MOL with some of the texts having been translated into Italian, Korean, Dutch, Finnish, and Spanish. A Japanese translation is currently in progress.
This book is an edited professional book in which MOL therapists describe their experiences of learning and using MOL. Such a range of experiences will illustrate the application and implementation of MOL across a broad range of contexts and for a variety of problems. Each chapter by an MOL therapist has the same structure describing the therapist’s training and experience, the area they work (or worked) in, why they adopted MOL, the benefits they experience in using MOL, problems they had to overcome in adopting MOL, and suggestions and recommendations they would make to aspiring MOL therapists. Professors Carey and Tai provide introductory chapters and a concluding chapter as well as their own descriptions of working as MOL therapists. People interested in finding out more about the application of MOL will encounter rich descriptions illustrating the flexibility and effectiveness of MOL.
