"In this frank and compelling account of psychotherapy today, Don Feasey focuses on some of the central concepts and current issues in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, examining them with a critical and appraising eye. Feasey takes the reader into the therapy room, and analyses the psychotherapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client. He advocates a close scrutiny of accepted models of therapy and suggests a client-empowering shift of emphasis within psychotherapeutic practice."--Jacket.
