Overview

This fascinating collection of interviews provides valuable insights into the work and lives of a number of leading practitioners in psychotherapy. Various questions and problems, which practitioners often come across, but which tend to remain unresolved throughout their careers, form the subject of these enlightening and thought provoking discussions.

The book discovers the more personal viewpoints of this 'Master Class' of psychotherapists. It shows how they have approached different problems, how they worked through them with clients and their reflections on the outcomes.

Furthermore, they talk about the books they have found helpful, the way in which certain experiences, both positive and negative, have influenced their practice and their thoughts on the future direction of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. The interviews also explore their individual views on research, training, supervision and personal analysis.

This book is both entertaining and educational. It will undoubtedly be a popular read amongst established practitioners, as well as those embarking on a career in this field.

The book contains no figures.

Both trained as psychiatrists, the Steins interview 16 prominent psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and analytical psychologists. They focus on the more personal aspects of their professional lives and how that had impinged on their private lives, asking about such matters as the choice of psychotherapy as a career, what books had been helpful, which positive and negative experiences had influenced their practice, and their views on such topics as research and personal attributes required by aspiring therapists.
