An Introduction to Psychodynamic Counselling

About this book

Now in its fourth edition, this book introduces the key theoretical ideas, assumptions and techniques behind psychodynamic approaches to therapeutic practice.

Written by an experienced and leading expert in psychodynamic counselling, this key text addresses a range of issues that challenges practitioners of all levels, ranging from basic concepts to more complex cases, and providing practical guidance across various therapeutic settings.

This new edition:
- Includes a brand-new chapter on basic psychoanalytical ideas, exploring the link between psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles
- Explores the rise in digital technology and remote access to therapy
- Makes extensive use of vivid clinical examples now presented in a more reader-friendly way

By paying attention to the setting, particularly in organizations, and the different stages of counselling, this book remains a valuable text for all counsellors, psychotherapists and professionals in related psychological and mental health fields.
