The How-To Book for Students of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy

Author(s) : Sheldon Bach

Reviews and Endorsements

'This book is a little gem; words of practical wisdom by a master clinician. Sheldon Bach has long been regarded as an analyst's analyst, a voice of experience that transcends categorization into singular schools of thought. Here is his advice for the beginner, the fundamentals of clinical practice, of holistic healing, and of the therapist's own self-care.'
- Lewis Aron, PhD, Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis

'Dr Bach's book is perhaps the quintessential volume on how to proceed as a psychoanalytic therapist. It is, however, much more than that; it is a book that contains the wisdom of a master clinician delivered in a manner that is readily accessible at many different levels. On a first reading, one might think that, yes, this is very helpful and I am glad to have received this guidance. On a second reading, one begins to realize that a view of psychoanalysis is subtly
inculcated in the text and that the depth and scope of the material stirs one to consider some of the basic concepts in our field in a new light. It is a book for the young clinician to help them begin to find their way, and a book for older clinicians to help them more fully understand the pathways that they have traversed.'
