If I encountered when browsing the bookstore for a book with the subtitle "What makes a good therapist ', I would have probably very quickly back on the shelf back made because usually arouse titles in the style of living of the mass market cht Ratings their insights in lei spray-to-follow imperatives, all my skepticism. The structure of the book, and the headings, which are too 'catchy' talk, I do not really and honestly, I was also surprised that Yalom has chosen this format to various aspects of his 45-year career as a psychotherapist on to to give because of the recent books, but especially from his textbook ' Existential Psychotherapy ', I know him as a very scientific-minded author learned.
But just a particular case against skepticism is a prejudice which has in the absence of detailed knowledge fully justified (for prejudices to give us guidance on how we can deal with things for which we have no experience). You just have to be willing to revise his prejudices in the light of new findings. And so it happened to me relatively quickly, as I look at this book because of my good experiences so far with Yalom undertook.
describes in 85 chapters, the most influential Yalom's therapeutic work Erfarungen to basic questions. Just over half of the book is, as this was hardly different, the relationship between the therapist and the client paid. A subject which occupies but in all his books a central role in its association with the 'here-and-jetzt' concept for me but had held some eye-openers. The way, as Yalom manages the pathologies for which he is visited by his client during the meetings with them to reproduce and to look at this moment as symptoms between therapist and patient (and not as often distorted perception already gone events) was very instructive for me. I like in this context, Yalom believes that the therapist is much less with respect to the archaeological work the past the patient and for that more should focus on its interaction in the present. Such a view, which is more common in the newer branches of psychotherapy enriched, in my view, the classical psychoanalysis a lot easier and makes this much for my sense of human and appreciative.
The other three areas that make up the other half of the book are dedicated to 'the next to the very practical procedural issues in psychotherapy or the use of dream material in psychoanalysis as well as the potentials and perils of psychotherapeutic work from the perspective of the therapist .
All in all a book of which I do have some benefits. Although it convinced me not to the same extent as the previous books, which I know from Yalom spring, but give reason for my skepticism described above, I have always ;-).
