Description
Learning from Our Mistakes: Beyond Dogma in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy examines the challenges of psychoanalysis, particularly when the analyst's claim to know the patient's mind better than the patient can lead to errors. Patrick Casement explores the processes of supervision and internal supervision to develop awareness of the patient's experiences, and considers the issue of mistakes and enactments by the analyst.
With numerous clinical descriptions and a focus on the past 100 years of psychoanalysis, Casement makes a strong case for being open-minded rather than dogmatic in clinical practice. This book is valuable for practitioners, trainers, and trainees of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, and is accessible to the educated general reader.
