Publisher's Synopsis
Psychotherapy Case Studies is composed of 11 compelling and emotionally intimate stories that illuminate the hidden psychological forces shaping our lives and the path to genuine freedom. These jargon-free narratives re-envision therapy as a sacred journey in which the therapist accompanies patients through their deepest struggles and creates an accepting home for the full spectrum of their lives.
Through stories spanning the depths of psychological despair and the heights of spiritual illumination, the book weaves Eastern contemplative and Western psychoanalytic wisdom, demonstrating the extraordinary healing that is possible when the therapist is like an emotional jazz improviser who is free and creative and approaches each person as unique. Each case reveals our unsuspected capacity not just to cope, but to thrive amid life's challenges.
Written for both beginning and seasoned therapists, students of psychology, and anyone curious about the transformative power of authentic human connection, these inspiring stories offer sustenance and hope in challenging times.
