essential reading February 3, 2008

A must read for all counsellor's/therapists - I can not recommend this book enough: invaluable, informative, excellent writing style and thought provoking.
My 100-word book review March 14, 2006

Patrick Casement's honesty in writing this book is an inspiration to those of us aiming to be counsellors. Not many therapists would reveal and discuss their own mistakes and oversights so openly, with a view to helping others learn from them. Casement promotes active listening skills and use of the "internal supervisor" to gain awareness both of the client’s and one’s own internal processes. Also key to his approach is a willingness to embrace uncertainty and not to make snap judgements, in effect to make use of what the poet John Keats called "negative capability." I highly recommend this book.

Very enjoyable. Very frank discussion of case studies, mostly about learning from his mistakes. Written from within the psychoanalytical discipline of intensive work, quotes Winnicott and Bion frequently. Nevertheless there is little or no jargon, he is an ex-social worker and says he is also writing for those with less arcane training. Shows great sensitivity to the patient and great emphasis on the importance of the patient's view of the analysis, is not far away from a Rogerian approach where the patient leads the therapy.

Oh what a relief to read of the real dilemmas and confusion that is part of being a therapist, as well as the appreciation of what is being given by the patient. The bravery shown in the disclosing and exploration by the author of his own internal processes can help facilitate the reader in exploring their own.

A refreshing, thought-provoking read. An essential read for all psychiatrists - reminds one that dynamic processes are fundamental to understanding patients and the patient-therapist relationship.
