Better Late than Never: The Reparative Therapeutic Relationship in Regression to Dependence

Author(s) : Lorraine Price

Reviews and Endorsements

‘Lorraine Price has written an important book for all psychotherapists. She describes the need for some clients to regress to an early developmental age while relying on a secure, dependable, healing relationship with the psychotherapist. Price’s review of the literature includes such topics as relational loss, terror, annihilation, psychological withdrawal, cumulative trauma, relational needs, shame, and identity, as well as the effects of acute anxiety and depression. This is a must-read for any psychotherapist interested in doing in-depth psychotherapy.’
—Dr Richard G. Erskine, Training Director, Institute for Integrative Psychotherapy

‘This book is about regression to dependence, but it is also about love, commitment, courage and standing alongside clients, even when they are at their most vulnerable. It is about therapy at its very best. The author skilfully weaves evocative narrative into theory, helping the reader to understand how reparative relationships may work in practice. It is a book that I would recommend to all psychotherapeutic practitioners, trainers and students and will use it to inform my own practice.’
—Susan Dale, MBACP Accred, independent psychotherapeutic practitioner and writer
