Problems and Solutions is a concise guide for beginning
psychotherapists who have mastered basic theory and technique and
are now preparing to run psychotherapy sessions. It has one simple
premise: a direct and clear therapist will have a more positive
impact on a patient. Finding that equilibrium between theory and
practice, Martin Kantor uses a practical no-nonsense approach to
identify specific therapeutic problems and offer effective, doable
solutions. Problems are those faced by all therapists and
solutions, while very specific, are not bound to any particular
school of thought and easily adaptable to different
psychotherapies. Word-by-word emphasis is placed on what to say as
well as what not to say. Specific guidance is given on handling
symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and obsessions. Geared
to beginning psychotherapists, Problems and Solutions also offers
the advanced therapist an opportunity to reflect on his/her
ingrained notions and habits.
With more than twenty years of experience in training
psychotherapists, Dr. Kantor has written a guide that is both
unique and inviting. He offers problem/solution guidance in an
elementary and concrete form. His intent is the development of a
therapy technique which is direct, open, and understandable. Kantor
covers: patient selection, disorder detection and diagnosis,
treatment goals, advantages and disadvantages of different
treatment modes, technical proficiency, long term therapy, defense
mechanisms, transference and countertransference. He also gives
extensive attention to the avoidance of common therapeutic errors
and the treatment of special situations, such as schizophrenia,
specific age groups, and symptoms with a physical caste. Time is
also given to basic questions such as the length and frequency of
sessions, fees, and office appearance.
