Further Learning from the Patient The analytic space and process [Paperback]

In Further Learning from the Patient, Patrick Casementstresses the value of internal supervision which monitors clinical work from the patients point of view as well as the therapists. This follow-up book to On Learning from the Patient shows that this process can teach the therapist important new things, and, by developing original concepts and using many illustrative examples, Casementenables the trainee and practising analyst to clarify and deepen their clinical understanding of the processes involved in analysis and psychotherapy.

This Classic Edition includes a new introduction to the work by Maria Gilbert and together, with OnLearning from the Patient, will be an invaluable training resource for trainee and practising analysts or therapists, and those teaching in related professions.

Everyone who is professionallyinvolved in the helping professions will find much of value in this book. Casement is a remarkably sensitive, perceptive psychoanalyst . . . . he is free from dogma, flexible, alert to the patients needs, and always ready to modify his technique in response to those needs. At the same time, he is able to retain his critical sense, and to write about both his own and the patients emotional involvement with scrupulous intellectual objectivity. Casements two books will become classics in their field and deserve to be so. They should be required reading for every psychotherapist in training .Anthony Storr(from the flÓ{
