With detailed clinical examples Busch show us when and how to intervene to help increase patient autonomy and self-reflective abilities. The method presented can be integrated into clinical practice whatever the theoretical orientation or level of experience.
In this absorbing new volume, Fred Busch courageously challenges some of the most cherished assumptions about ego psychology as a theory of technique. His thinking is systematic, well-supported, and clinically grounded. Readers will find the book a breath of fresh air that should stimulate their thinking long after they have finished reading it. I suspect there will be controversy surrounding this contribution for years to come, and I heartily recommend it to all analysts and analytic therapists.
