More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The theoretical and practical basis of psychoanalysis as described by Freud lies in interpretation - a statement to the patient that places his or her behaviour or words in a different context. In their enthusiasm for this procedure, psychoanalysts have tended to underestimate the limitations of this technique and overlooked other ways of helping the patient. In this ground-breaking book, Peter Lomas discusses the importance of the relationship between patient and therapist, and puts forward the merits of a more open, honest, and personal engagement. The book, first published in 1987, has become a classic. In this new edition, much of the material has been re-written. While the general tenor and central argument remain, the author has conscientiously revised and, in places, sharpened his argument. The result is a book that is even clearer and more compelling than the original.

Format:Hardcover
This book is an eminently readable and thoughtful study that tries to reflect what really happens in a therapy relationship. Lomas is not afraid to face and explore the 'difficult' areas opened up by an artificial, but intimate, relationship, or the defenses developed by the profession to protect its practionners from that intimacy. It is a must for any counsellor, psychotherapist, or (in an ideal world) any potential client.
