At the invitation of the Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, Leslie Greenberg gave seminars during 1997 on emotion in clinical practice and on current research endeavours. He is Professor, Department of Psychology, and Director of the Psychotherapy Research Centre, York University, Toronto, where he trained in psychology before going to the University of British Columbia for twelve years. His mentors were Laura Rice, one of Carl Rogers’ students, who introduced him to psychotherapy, and Pascual Leone, one of Piaget's students in developmental psychology. He learned to integrate a type of client‐centered/ process‐oriented approach with a Piagetian approach to psychotherapy research. He has had further training in Gestalt therapy and family therapy, and exposure to dynamic and cognitive therapy within the Society for Psychotherapy Research. Leslie Greenberg was a founding member of the Society for Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI) and the Society for Constructivism in Psychotherapy. He is the co‐author of Emotion in Psychotherapy (1987), Emotion, Psychotherapy and Change (1991), Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (1988), Facilitating Emotional Change (1993) and most recently, Working with Emotions in Psychotherapy (1997).
