This is a step-by-step guide to the key skills and techniques of the psychodynamic approach used at each stage of the therapeutic process. Updated in a second edition, the book includes a new chapter on neuropsychology and its implications for theory and practice, new content on working in the NHS and other settings, additional case material and updates to all chapters reflecting recent literature, research and understanding.
It's alright, there's a lot of reasoning as to why. I like the use of examples throughout, which allow the theory to be related to context. It is very slow to read despite it being a very short book, since it is quite dry at times. I do not recommend reading it all in one go. It's much better to read a chapter at a time, like every week or so, but I don't have time for that right now. All in all, it's not bad – it's very good for understanding the 'why' of psychodynamic practice.
