Summary
"Sandra Buechler examines the core values that permeate psychoanalytically oriented treatment. She makes clear that the values that guide treatment derive from the full range of the clinician's human experiences, and she is admirably candid in relating the personal experiences that inform her own matrix of clinical values. A record of one gifted therapist's pathway to clinical maturity, Clinical Values has a more general import: It exemplifies the variegated ways in which productive clinical work of any type ultimately revolves around the therapist's ability to make the most of being "all too human.""--Jacket
