A great pocket-sized (and yes I did put it in the pockets of two separate garments!) look at Psychodynamic counselling. The author provides a useful valance of case studies and her own observations, and it's an interesting device to use the same case and its development to illustrate the areas sh covers in the chapter. Interesting to hear more about the scientific aspects of how the brain works in relation to the therapy.
