Testimonials on the Pattern System

Jay Earley’s Pattern System is a clear and practical synthesis of conventional psychotherapeutic knowledge and wisdom. It allows me as a practitioner to know how to respond in a healing way to what before was a shadowy conglomerate of personal impressions. Through discerning the various combinations of patterns, some of the mystery of individual personality has unfolded for me into a more transparent view of a client’s deepest issues and defensive maneuvers. The simplicity of this system is where its brilliance lies.

Reading your book was richly rewarding. There’s so much in it I appreciate and admire. You map out the dynamics of clients in a clear, crisp way, yet with many welcome recognitions of the complexities that need to be taken into account. What you are doing is awesome in its scope and originality.
—Daniel Malamud, Ph.D.

The fine distinctions Dr. Earley makes in the manifestations of each pattern allow the therapist to understand with greater clarity the character structure of his client, and to choose with precision the necessary treatment for healing. An excellent and insightful reference for both new and seasoned practitioners of mental health. I recommend it highly.
