Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Learning to Listen from Multiple Perspectives

I was in a forum where I was asked to read this book first before Jon’s co creating safety book. I wish this was a requirement for all schools. It is exactly the type of learning that can add confidence for learning and especially newly licensed therapists. I am so glad to have found this and it is so rich of examples I sometimes have to re read the page to make sure I’m getting it. I am not done yet and feel like I am going to want to re read it again later. Definitely cannot go wrong at all!

A very impressive and focused book designed to help devolop basic skills of psychodynamic therapy focusing on area s of reflection, conflict, transfreance, defence mechanism with indepth vignette's demonstrating how the skills are applied in my opinion a must for any person intresting in expanding there knowledge in a psychodynamic orientation

Very good for beginning therapists to learn how to listen, understand underlying causes of behavior, transference, countertransference, and How & when to make interpretations.

An excellent text to learn the basics of psychodynamic therapy. Provides detailed explanations with clinical examples. One of the better books on practical application of psychodynamic therapy.

For all the reading I have to do, this is a very easy text to breeze through. This was a good choice on my instructor's part.
