Using many telling clinical examples, he illustrates how, through trial identification, he has learned to monitor the implications of his own contributions to a session from the viewpoint of the patient. He shows how, with the aid of this internal supervision, many initial failures to respond appropriately can be remedied and even used to the benefit of the therapeutic work. By learning to better distinguish what helps the therapeutic process from what hinders it, ways are discovered to avoid the circularity of pre-conception by analysts who aim to understand the unconscious of others. From this lively examination of key clinical issues, the author comes to see psychoanalytic therapy as a process of re-discovering theory - and developing a technique that is more specifically related to the individual patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dynamics illustrated here, particularly the processes of interactive communication and containment, occur in any helping relationship and are applicable throughout the caring professions. \u003cb\u003ePatrick Casement's\u003c\/b\u003e unusually frank presentation of his own work, aided by his lucid and non-technical language, allows wide scope for readers to form their own ideas about the approach to technique he describes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Classic Edition includes a new introduction to the work by \u003cb\u003eAndrew Samuels\u003c\/b\u003e and together with its sequel \u003cem\u003eFurther Learning from the Patient\u003c\/em\u003e, will be an invaluable training resource for trainee and practising analysts or therapists, and those teaching in related professions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatrick Casement\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Fellow of the Institute of Psychoanalysis and a Member of the International Association of Psychoanalysis.
