Description
Introducing Contemporary Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy: the Art and Science of the Unconscious by Alistair Ross This introductory book strikes a balance between theory and practice, exploring the evolution of psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy over the last 30 years. From its Freudian roots to its contemporary applications, Ross delves into the key concepts and skills that have emerged in the field, including transference, counter-transference, and the influence of the past on the present. The book offers a fresh perspective on traditional counselling and psychotherapy skills, illustrated by vignettes and personal insights from the author's professional practice. Ross encourages readers to develop new skills for relating at depth with clients, exploring how life-changing therapy can be achieved. With a focus on the importance and relevance of Freud's ideas in present-day therapeutic relationships, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the art and science of the unconscious.
