Maybe keep trying- even if you don't understand all of it. The basic principles are good even if the science gets in the way a bit! I can't remember exactly, but Ithink possibly the first few chapters were some of the most scientific. For me, it was worth persevering because i got a lot out of it. I read it in very small portions!
Otherwise maybe there are some easier suggestions around? I found Yaloms books quite good. They are not scietific- not going to explain everything, but nice to read in terms of thinking about therapy.
