Description
This memoir offers a unique insight into the life and work of a psychotherapist, tracing his journey from a hard-nosed behaviour therapist to a psychodynamic therapist with an interest in narrative. Through case material from his professional practice, the author shares the main schools of psychotherapy and the lessons he learned from his patients.
With a focus on clinical cases, this book provides a behind-the-scenes look at psychotherapy, dispelling jargon and making it accessible to readers without prior knowledge of psychology or psychotherapy. It is an engaging and informative read that will appeal to those interested in understanding the mysterious world of psychotherapy.
Perfect for anyone curious about the inner workings of the consulting room, this book is also valuable reading for those considering a career in clinical psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy.
