Product description
Review
''As I have come to expect from Salman Akhtar, this is a work of art from a master therapist, as well as an excellent practical introduction to several factors that affect the outcome of dynamic psychotherapy. The issues are discussed with graphic vignettes, and a concisely summarised literature background, yet with a personal cast that makes even mundane matters come alive. I would recommend this very easy to read book to experienced therapists as well as beginners, and I would do so with a rare sense of having read a classic.'- Stuart Twemlow, MD, psychiatrist at The Menninger Clinic in Houston'Salman Akhtar had a wonderful idea for a book when he thought of this one, and he has carried it off well. Eminently practical, richly illustrated, and providing enough clinical theory to set the contexts meaningfully, this book is focused on five significant and potentially problematic aspects of the psychotherapeutic encounter. The choices in this focus will immediately arouse the interest of any clinician, and Akhtar's choice to focus permits him, in his words, to favor depth over breadth in his clinical examination. He does this successfully and wisely. The book provides an excellent read for beginners, to whom itis directed, but also for teachers and peer group supervisions, where it will provide much to learn from and much to argue about. A good idea and a good job done!'- Fred Pine, professor in the department of psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

This text is excellent for psychodynamic psychotherapy practical work.
Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2014Verified Purchase
I found this text very insightful when applying psychotherapy to practical therapy work.
It also assisted in a different line of thinking and relating to clients and again applying theoretical ideas to practical work.
I would recommend this text to new students starting a course in psychotherapeutic practical work,

common sense grounding in technique
Reviewed in the United States on 16 March 2013Verified Purchase
Akhtar tackles the subject of technique in dynamic psychotherapy in a user-friendly way, even for the beginning psychotherapist, by centering on a few core issues that pose technical dilemmas. His chapter on boundaries is especially erudite and enlightening. He elucidates intrapsychic boundaries, interpersonal boundaries, and cultural boundaries, as well as the highly therapeutically useful concept of optimal distance: he leaves no doubt about the importance of understanding these in order to conduct an effective psychotherapy or analysis. He also relates these to various forms of psychopathology.
