Principles of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: A Manual for Supportive-Expressive Treatment

Rating:
Summary: An excellent guide
Review: This book, written by a veteran psychotherapist, is a treatment guide for psychoanalytic therapists. It offers a systematic guide through the treatment process, from start to finish, offering specific intervention strategies as well as measurement scales to evaluate the therapist's performance. It is well-written and easy to understand, and quite interesting! As a psychologist, I can say it explains very clearly the transference in the therapeutic relationship, curative factors in psychoanalysis, and strategies for the beginning, middle, and termination phases of treatment.
