Select Condition 
Book Overview
This well-respected guide to psychoanalytic psychotherapy addresses key issues for both beginning and practicing therapists, from the rhythm of the initial, middle, and final stages of therapy to the setting up of an office and the handling of fees and insurance. The book also deals with the management of borderline and potentially suicidal or homocidal patients in an out-patient setting. Unique in their direct approach to problems in a therapist's own life, the authors also discuss transference and contertransference issues that arise with pregnancy, changes in the therapist's love attachments, age, illness and a death in the practitioner's family. New in this second edition is a chapter on women therapists and women patients.

If your dog starts to bark... pull more firmly on the leash
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Reads like a dog trainer's manual. Great way to see what an alienating farce psychodynamic therapy is for treating real depression. Read it behind your therapist's back and have some fun with his or her tiny, clinical, robotic mind.
