| Summary |
"The Craft of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy provides an orientation to a practical skill of great richness, one that offers an adventure in intimacy which many may never have experienced. It presents a means to help people address mysteries in their inner lives and ways of being with others and the world at large." "Kaner and Prelinger describe the defining elements of the accumulated working knowledge of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Using a storytelling mode, they bring the reader into the immediacy of the clinical hour. Case material illustrates the text and resonates with readers' practical experiences."--BOOK JACKET |
