Synopsis

This book examines one of the most complex aspects of psychotherapy: the therapist - client relationship. Drawing on his extensive clinical experience and the theories of Freud, Rogers, Gill and Kohut, Kahn shows how classical transference analysis can be combined with contemporary humanistic emphasis on warmth and empathy. The new, streamlined Second Edition features greater discussion of ethics and countertransference. It is appropriate as a supplement for courses on psychotherapy/counselling theory or practice.
