Publisher Synopsis
"Overall, this is a volume that gives one much to consider, especially in examining one's own performance in interacting with clients. This is an important and useful book for those who practice or wish to learn intensive therapeutic techniques." - Charles Golden in PsycCRITIQUES, March 2011 "This is a book of disarming honesty, courage and insight. It is clear, concise and direct in describing an aspect of the psychotherapeutic relationship that is often not addressed...What makes this book remarkable is that Hedges is not content to be theoretical...Rather he illustrates the evidence of each of these developmental perspectives in the therapeutic encounter with first-person stories which tell how the therapist recognized and addressed these interpersonal dynamics...illustrative and positive: it encourages one to realize that one can bring one's humanity to bear in a therapeutic way." - Brad DeFord, Ph.D., in Illness, Crisis & Loss "...quickly the work grabbed my attention. What is helpful and I appreciated, was the validation I felt when I read the authors' willingness to name and own his therapeutic errors. So often, this material is unavailable because a sense of shame stops us presenting and maximising the powerful learning that can be gained when it all goes wrong. At a time where there is a paucity of material available on this area of our work, this book will contribute to all therapists." - Sally Openshaw, COSRT Accredited Fellow, private practice, Bideford, Devon, UK, in Sexual and Relationship Therapy Read more...
