3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I hoped for, 28 May 2008
By Mel (England) - See all my reviews
In this book, Don Feasey presents his personal views on aspects of practising psychotherapy such as beginnings and endings, assessing client "suitability" for therapy, charging for services and more. He also discusses some of theoretical aspects of psychoanalysis such as projection, resistance and the unconscious. He writes in a very easy to understand style and the book is peppered with many examples from real live clients. I was however a little disappointed that the book didn't provide what I'd hoped for, which was for a flavour of what it might be like to practise as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in contrast to a practitioner from other schools of therapy. Having read the book, I now feel as though I know more about Don Feasey and his opinions (not keen on Melanie Klein, quite a fan of Freud) but not much more about what psychoanalytic psychotherapists do to help their clients. The illustrations from his client work serve to back up his arguments rather than show how their work with him progressed through time. The blurb on the back of the book describes it as a "frank and compelling account of psychotherapy today". Whilst I'd agree that it is frank, I didn't find it compelling and in fact had to re-read many sections to figure out what the point was that Feasey was trying to make. Overall, I'd rather have spent my twenty pounds on something else.
