A propos de l'auteur
Michael Jacobs was for many years director of the counselling and psychotherapy programme at the University of Leicester. He is one of the pioneers of psychodynamic counselling and therapy in Britain. He has written and edited over sixty books including Sigmund Freud (SAGE, 2nd edition, 2003) and D.W. Winnicott (SAGE, 1995). He has been a visiting professor at Leeds and Bournemouth Universities and has a Ph.D, his thesis being on psychoanalytic criticism of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He has retired from practice as a therapist and supervisor, and as a teacher and trainer, but maintains a keen interest in the development of psychodynamic thinking and practice.
Résumé
Widely regarded as the most accessible introduction to the psychodynamic approach, this book covers everything from initial meeting right through to the end of the relationship.
Commentaire
Brilliant, enlightening, practical. A gem of a book.
British Journal of Guidance and Counselling
This is one of a very small number of books that manage to describe simply, but not simplistically, what analytic work involves.
British Journal of Medical Psychology
One of the most reliable (and readable) guides to what is involved in counselling Jacobs' well-organised and comprehensive summaries of the main theories and his illustrations of psychodynamic counselling drawn from his own work will inspire students and trainees on counselling and therapy courses. They will also interest (and create envy) in more experienced readers.
