   I was very impressed with how quickly the item arrived at my house.

   I am using this product for a course I will be co-teaching.

   This is a true manual, not abstract, written in clinical and easy to understand language. I wish I had had this book at the beginning of my graduate training. This manual should be required for all incoming students interested in psychodynamic therapy. Love that it has real world examples of each concept, including examples of how to express concepts IN THE ROOM. Practical, useful, excellent.

   I am in graduate school and our coursework regarding psychodynamic psychotherapy is a little lacking, as everyone seems to prefer CBT. This book is EVERYTHING I have ever wanted and more. The layout is fantastic, it's easy to read, and the authors have put a lot of thought into every little detail. I would not have been able to fully understand the tenets and inner-workings of psychotherapy without it.

   I've been a psychologist for over 40 years and like you, I still want to learn more and sharpen my skills so I can be more effective with my patients. Author does an exceptional job of clearly and concisely explaining very complex issues that are so critical in our work. She writes in a way that lets you know she does the work we do and isn't trying to sound all theoretical and highfalutin. Anything by this author is well worth reading!

   This is an excellent manual, with great examples of psychodynamic concepts, including a very informative section on defense mechanisms. It also provides a vast range of case study examples which aid learning. I think it's an exceptionally well written book and has been incredibly useful as I approach my 2nd year of diploma and continue to work with clients. It's one of the best psychodynamic books I've found and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in this area of psychotherapy, whether they are new to this subject or a diploma/ degree student.

   I chose this as a reference for my work as an RN case manager. Many of my patients are in therapy and the benefits swing wildly from helpful to hindering. I work with non-medical personnel who must interpret medical records. Resources like this are very helpful.
   
   The text is comprehensive re: the basics of all talk therapy rapport issues. My only concern was the lack of any consideration of malingering or non-medical gain. Otherwise this is as compete a manual as I have seen for structuring the nature of the helping relationship. Will definitely get use in my reference library.
