Ghosts in the Consulting Room: Echoes of Trauma in Psychoanalysis

Targeting psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, social workers, family therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, this book focuses on the overwhelming feeling surrounding mourning. Using clinical examples, the book reflects on the challenges of learning how to move forward. Distinguished psychoanalysts examine how to work with “ghosts” that manifest in transference and countertransference with both children and adults in institutional settings. The book recounts the unpredictable effects of trauma that emerge within clinical work, sometimes unexpectedly. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
