The book Focusing is supposed to explain the techniques that successful therapy patients use that separate them from unsuccessful therapy patients.

I don't think that's an accurate description.

The book describes an ability that most successful patients have. Then it describes a technique for building that ability. It doesn't claim that the technique is the only way to build that ability.
