Psychotherapy and Personal Change: Two Minds in a Mirror offers
unique day-to-day accounts of patients undergoing psychotherapy and
what happens during "talk therapy" to startle the complacent,
conscious mind and expose the unconscious. It is a candid,
moment-by-moment revelation of how the therapist's own memories,
feelings, and doubts are often as much a factor in the process as
those of the patient. In the process of healing, both the therapist
and the patient reflect on each other and on themselves. As the
therapist develops empathy for the patient, and the patient
develops trust in the therapist, their shared memories, feelings,
and associations interact and entwine - almost kaleidoscopically -
causing each to ask questions of the other and themselves. In this
book, Dr. Friedberg reveals personal insights that arose as he
recalled memories to share with patients. These insights might not
have arisen but for the therapy, which operates in multiple
directions as patient and therapist explore the present, the past,
and the unknown. Readers will see the therapist - like the patient
- as a complex, vulnerable human being influenced by parents,
colleagues, and friends, whose conscious and unconscious minds
ramify through each other. It is a truism of psychotherapy that in
order to commit to the process, whatever the reservations or
misconceptions, one must understand that therapy is not passive.
The patient must expect to become personally involved with the
therapist. The patient learns about the therapist even as the
therapist helps the patient to gain insight into him- or herself.
Psychotherapy and Personal Change shows how this exchange develops
and how each actor is affected. Through specific examples, the book
raises the reader's understanding of what to expect from
psychotherapy and enhances his/her insight into therapy that he or
she may have had already.
