Description
Doing Psychotherapy offers a realistic and practical guide to the therapeutic process. By examining detailed clinical protocols, Dr. Basch shows what actually happens in therapy, including the inevitable mistakes that can occur.
This book focuses on treating patients with complex personal relationships, who are often overlooked in training guides. The author's approach emphasizes building on the patient's strengths rather than searching for pathology, and incorporates techniques from various therapeutic schools.
Written by a seasoned practitioner and teacher, this book is invaluable for beginning psychotherapists and serves as a useful refresher for those with more experience in clinical work.
