Informationen zum Autor Hobson, Peter Klappentext This book illustrates clinical, psychoanalytic approaches to understanding people in depth, even when breadth of understanding is severely constricted by the brevity of a consultation. It considers the changing times in which psychoanalytic psychotherapists carry on consulting. "A valuable and impressive study of the role of psychoanalytically informed consultations within the National Health Service. The authors offer vivid illustrations of the value of psychoanalytical thinking and understanding in their encounters with patients at the Tavistock Clinic. They also demonstrate the importance of working within a group of colleagues who share certain basic theoretical assumptions, and who, at the same time respect each others differences. This framework facilitates thinking and working on the fascinating, and challenging task of engaging in a meaningful, truthful and constructive way with patients."
