Description
On Learning from the Patient explores the potential for psychoanalytic thinking to become self-perpetuating. Patrick Casement examines the dynamics of the helping relationship, revealing how patients offer cues to the therapeutic experience that they are unconsciously seeking.
Through clinical examples, Casement illustrates how he has learned to monitor the implications of his own contributions to a session from the patient's perspective, leading to improved therapeutic outcomes. By distinguishing what helps and hinders the therapeutic process, analysts can avoid circular thinking and develop a more tailored approach.
This book offers a frank and accessible examination of key clinical issues, allowing readers to form their own ideas about the approach to technique described. The author's lucid language makes it an ideal resource for anyone working in the caring professions.
