Here is a practical guide to doing psychotherapy which, unlike most
other manuals that present an idealized view of the
therapist-patient relationship, shows what the therapeutic
encounter is really like. Using detailed excerpts from clinical
protocols, and without omitting the inevitable mistakes that a
therapist will make, Dr. Basch draws the reader into the
therapeutic dialogue as a way of experiencing what actually happens
in the course of treatment with cases of varying complexity.The
author focuses on the treatment of the kind of patients who, though
likely to make up the majority of a therapist's practice, are
generally ignored in training guides,those who are not acutely
disturbed, whose pathology is minimal, but whose personal
relationships are usually troubled, unsatisfying, and frequently
destructive. Dr. Basch's approach, developed over twenty years of
practicing and teaching psychotherapy, is dynamic and analytic in
that he considers the management of the transference relationship
as basic to the treatment process. however, he avoids the
rigidities often associated with the classical psychoanalytic
position and does not hesitate to incorporate into his teaching
methods techniques associated with other schools" of therapy.
Throughout, he stresses building on the patient's strengths rather
than searching for pathology.This wise and useful book not only
will prove invaluable to all beginning psychotherapists,whether
their background is one of psychiatry, psychology, or social
work,but will also serve as an ideal refresher for those more
experienced in clinical work.
