Here is what graduates of the Certificate Program in Relational Psychoanalysis at the Contemporary Psychodynamic Institute are saying about their experience with the MAMAL method…

Working with the MAMAL method for case consultation both as a supervisor and a supervisee has revitalized my work as a psychotherapist. The upside-down approach of tending to affect first has been like finding a hidden door into the depths of relational work that was missing from traditional supervisory approaches. Attention to affect and the unconscious, collaborative authority, relentless curiosity and emotional risking are the portals into not only deepening my work with clients, but also are growing myself as a person.

Learning and practicing this approach has changed the way I work in a way that feels more alive, engaging and deeply beneficial to my patients. Dr. Barsness’ efforts to scaffold the supervision endeavor in this way is both practical and creative, structured, and endlessly flexible as I learn to use my own humanity in my work with other humans.

I am so deeply grateful that I found this model of supervision early in my career. It requires me as a therapist to acknowledge my own subjectivity and the fact that it is always active in the room as I work with my patients. I haven't stopped practicing this model since I began four years ago, and I can't imagine doing this sort of work without it now.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Barsness takes us on a revolutionary journey through the world of supervision and consultation. As a psychologist with two decades of experience, I found his method to be transformative, leading to increased self-awareness and enriched patient care. I found myself invigorated and enlightened by Barsness' innovative approach, discovering new depths within myself, leading to greater authenticity and openness both personally and professionally. This book not only offers practical techniques but also inspires a profound shift in perspective, ultimately enriching the therapeutic process for both practitioners and patients alike. Highly recommended for practitioners seeking personal and professional growth.

With five years of work in the MAMAL method of consultation, I now use this model for my training clinic for all clinicians because of its impact on my own clinical work and mind. I find that the model has given us space to move towards a richer, more honest dialogue with one another as clinicians, and more wholehearted authenticity with our clients. Most impactful - for me in my own life, my work as a clinician, and in my therapeutic community at our clinic - is that I have found the model has helped me to hide less, and in that, feel far less alone in my world.
