Book Overview
This groundbreaking volume probes an important, yet often overlooked area of psychotherapy--conducting therapy with therapists. While there is general recognition that therapist are a client population with special needs, and despite the fact that personal therapy or analysis is often considered an essential aspect of psychotherapy training, there has been little effort to discuss the process--until this insightful effort by Florence W. Kaslow and her colleagues. They discuss the uniqueness of this therapeutic process from both the clinician's and the client's perspectives. The particular complexities of therapy with therapists, the ethical issues and the boundary problems that are raised, and the potential pitfalls and benefits of such work are addressed in a clear, straightforward fashion.
