Inside Therapy Illuminating Writings About Therapists, Patients, and Psychotherapy

A scintillating collection of writings on the mysterious, controversial, and intimate process of psychotherapy. Everyone with an interest in the art and science of psychotherapy - practitioners, patients, students, and avid readers of Freud, Jung, et al-will find this lively anthology an engrossing read. A varied mix of essays, book chapters, case histories, and compelling fiction written by veterans of both sides of "the couch" and representing many schools of thought, Inside Therapyincludes: Janet Malcolm's The Impossible Profession* Mark Epstein's Thoughts Without a Thinker* Eric Fromm's The Art of Listening* A. M. Homes's In a Country of Mothers* Theodore Reik's The Third Ear* and others. The foreword by Irvin D. Yalom, author of Love's Executioner, offers additional wisdom, humor, and perspective. At a time when managed care threatens the psychoanalytic tradition, this dramatic, inspiring collection reminds us of the healing power of insight and the unique gifts of the patient-therapist relationship.Rabinowitz, Ilana is the author of 'Inside Therapy Illuminating Writings About Therapists, Patients, and Psychotherapy', published 2000 under ISBN 9780312263423 and ISBN 0312263422.
