Needed Relationships and Psychoanalytic Healing: A Holistic Relational Perspective on the Therapeutic Process

By Steven L. Stern

Book Overview

Needed Relationships and Psychoanalytic Healing is both a personal analytic credo and a multidimensional approach to thinking about clinical interaction. The book's central theme is that of analytic needed relationships-the science and art of co-creating unique, evolving relational experiences fitted to each patient's implicit therapeutic aims and needs. It offers diverse clinical examples in which you will find Stern engaging with each of his patients in idiomatic, spontaneous ways as he attempts to contour interventions to the evolving analytic situation.
