Product Description

Review
How can anyone claim to provide a 'comprehensive' introduction to psychodynamic counselling in only 122 pages? Klein can. Her scope is wide-ranging. Beginning with a detailed description of traditional psychoanalysis, she moves on to post-Freudians providing a synopsis of how each theory differs from Freud's... Know someone who wants a simple, concise description of psychoanalysis or transactional analysis? Get them this book. --Sharyn Smith, Educational Psychologist, 'The Psychologist'

Product Description
Sets a new standard as a succinct guide to psychodynamic theory and practice for everyone wanting an authoritative synopsis.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 19 Jul 2007

By	A therapist (UK) - See all my reviews

This book is littered with inaccuracies and inconsistencies. It gives no clear sense of the complexity of psychodynamic counselling and presents models which have no resemblance to psychodynamic counselling as it is widely understood. Not at all recommended and totally unhelpful

5.0 out of 5 stars compact and very useful, 23 May 2009

By	G. D. Garlick "sammy57" (u.k.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mavis Klein is a qualified and practicing psychotherapist and a transactional analyst in her work with senior managers in business.Hence this,though a slim volume,is a perfect summary and introduction to one of the many approaches that is the minefield of counselling approaches and theories.I found it very useful-concise,straight-forward and free of mind-bending jargon.Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars A useful and informative introduction, 3 Nov 2007

By	Mary Cox - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This short book is well written in the author's usual highly literate style. It places the psychodynamic approach to counselling in context and gives a clear, if general, brief account of both psychoanalytic key concepts and child development, an understanding of which are necessary in psychodynamic work. Perhaps a limitation of the book is that whilst it is introductory, it also has a breadth of reach which has a somewhat diluting effect on the essential psychodynamic material. A good start for interested counsellors, and very attractively published.
