Product Description

Review
"Casement's book is masterly in his entirely convincing account of the complexity of unconscious communications that occur between patient and therapist....If I was asked to recommend one book on technique for the beginning therapist, I would recommend "Learning from the Patient,."..It is the best book available." --Arnold H. Modell in" Psychoanalytic Psychology"
This is a remarkable and unusual addition to psychoanalytic literature, and a book form which any analyst, however experienced, is sure to learn something new and valuable. The future of psychoanalysis lies along the path that Casement is pointing out in this sensitive, excellent book.' --Anthony Storr, F.R.C.P., F.R.C.Psych., F.R.S.L.
"This is a landmark book, one of the outstanding contributions to the psychoanalytic literature in recent years. With his remarkable sensitivity to the subtle manifestations of the interactions taking place in the analytic hour and his awareness of the impact of patient and analyst on each other, Patrick Casement has demonstrated how a gifted analyst can make use of the her-and-now transactions to explore the rich tapestry of thoughts, fantasies, and memories that lie behind them. This book can serve as a teaching text for all therapists who are interested in learning from a master clinician....' --Theodore J. Jacobs, M.D.
Casement believes that the power of the therapist lies in learning how to help a patient experience himself through the therapeutic prism and he describes this by his own clinical work with a direct openness, a disciplined compassion, and a refreshing modesty that is intrinsically elegant....A valuable psychoanalytic offering.' --Rosalyn Benitez-Bloch, D.S.W.
"Few analysts convey better than Casement the actual feeling of work in the consulting room. His non-dogmatic but rigorous attention to the total communication of the patient represents what is best and most convincing about modern psychoanalysis. His book will be of particular value to trainees in the psychodynamic professions, but will also be refreshing to more experienced practitioners." --David Black, Lecturer, Westminster Pastoral Foundation, London, "British Journal of Psychiatry"

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book of reference for the psychotherapy student, 8 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Casement offers an excellent book for the student therapist about to enter into practice. His explanations to situations are intriguing - and this keeps the reader interested.

This book combines both of Casement's original works: "On Learning from the Patient" and "On Further Learning from the Patient" into the one book.

There is usually an explanation to situations (even if many explanations) and Casement details many ways of looking at the therepeutic relationships in this book.

Casement even demonstrates to the reader where the author has made mistakes during the therapeutic process - and describes how he identified what was happening, and the steps he took to correct himself.

Uncomplicated in his style of writing, he writes as a friendly mentor.

I originally purchased this book for my with with the psychodynamic model, however I would see that many therapists of many models could make use of this excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Person Centered Student Counsellor review, 15 Jan 2004
By Mr AW Blackwell (Selsey, Chichester, West Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Andrew Blackwell, Person Centered Student Counsellor,Bishop Otter

This book is a must for all psychotherapy and counselling students whatever " hat " you wear. It provides an intriguing and novel insight into the therapist / client relationship and brings to the author new concepts of understanding by focusing strongly on the client and showing that it is here that we have the most to learn. For the first time the tables are turned and we have a professional admitting to self appraised errors in practice yet outlining a clear and digestable learning from both this and all relational and therapeutic aspects of the client. Get out there and buy it or you will have missed a key plateau of learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book that captures the meaning of understanding., 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I found Casement to be fascinating in his explanation of the interaction between he and his patients. He described his thoughts and ideas in an uncomplicated manner and as a student I found this to be most helpful. After reading his book, a lot of things finally made sense to me. I strongly recommend reading this book to all clinicians as it can be used within any framework and theory
