Product Description

In "Between Therapist and Client, " Michael Kahn explores what is perhaps the most important aspect of therapy - the therapist-client relatonship. As he traces the history of the clinical relationship from Freud to the present, Kahn shows how the enmity between the humanists and the psychoanalyts limited their therapeutic effectiveness - and how their recent reconciliation has opened up exciting new possibilities for the way therapists relate to clients, pointing to a promising new period in the history of psychotherapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd found this book ages ago!, 23 Nov 2001

Self-help junkie (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Between Therapist and Client: The New Relationship (Paperback)

Funny how certain books seem to have been written just for ME! THis is one of them. Trained as a psychodynamic counsellor, I have been struggling for a long time with issues of 'how to be' in the room with clients. The psychoanalytic 'blank screen' just isn't me - yet I feel that I'm betraying my training if I am warm and present.Kahn brilliantly identifies and expands this dilemma and by introducing the work of Kohut provides an elegant and freeing way forward. I cannot recommend this book too highly and will be giving it to lots of friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for anyone learning the art of psychotherapy, 13 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Between Therapist and Client: The New Relationship (Paperback)

As a graduate student newly entering the world of psychotherapy from a professional standpoint, I found Michael Kahn's book a real reading treasure. His explanations of issues such as transference (and countertransference), and the way in which these phenomena have been viewed over time, was interesting to read and valuable learning for any therapist-to-be. He does a beautiful job of taking theoretical information and explaining it in such a way that it can be understood and utilized immediately with clients. Also, Michael brings a personal touch to his book which I found increases it's worth even further. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning about psychotherapy, particularly self-psychology; and I sincerely hope he decides to write more in the future!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and informative read., 1 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Between Therapist & Client: The New Relationship (Paperback)

I have always tried to work in an eclectic way but have sometimes been unsure if this is the right thing to do as counselling is sometimes boxed. After reading this book it confirmed to me that what we need to do is work in a way that is beneficial to both counsellor and client, enabling a good counselling relationship to establish. It shows ways of working specifically in certain areas or of breaking down the boxes, letting true counselling occur. I found it easy to read and would recommend this book to anyone.
