Description

This sequel to "On Learning from the Patient" looks into the techniques of analysis and psychotherapy and focuses on what happens in the analytic space between analyst and patient. Using many clinical examples, Patrick Casement shows the value of monitoring clinical work from the patient's point of view as well as the therapist's. This process of "internal supervision" can teach the therapist new things, such as the patient's unconscious search for what is needed for emotional health and recovery. Stressing the importance for the therapist of listening attentively to the patient and taking notice of the communication implicit in behaviour, Casement argues that the unconscious is a potentially positive force, which can work constructively with the therapist.

Description

Patrick Casement stresses the value of 'internal supervision', which monitors clinical work from the patient's point of view as well as the therapist's. In this follow-up book to On Learning from the Patient, he shows that this process can teach the therapist important new things, and by developing original concepts and using many illustrative examples, he enables the trainee and practising analyst to deepen and clarify their clinical understanding of the processes involved in analysis and psychotherapy.
