Download or read book Reflecting on Therapy written by Michael Jacobs and published by Karnac Books. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Jacobs is the author of key texts, such as Psychodynamic Counselling in Action and The Presenting Past. Looking back over fifty years' experience as a therapist and reflecting on some forty years as a supervisor and teacher, he invites you to join him and reflect upon issues uncovered in the therapy room. Therapists are encouraged to engage in reflective practice, thinking through what they are saying and doing, together with presenting their work in supervision in order to engage in fine-tuning their insight and skills. However, it is hard to find the time with so many demands pressing in. Michael presents various situations, phrases and practices which may evade reflection since they are so common in the consulting room, or which may challenge assumptions that easily become habitual in a therapist's practice. He unpacks apparent conventional phrases, such as 'How are you?', 'Did you see ...?', 'And ...'. He says the unsayable, looks at the place of CPD, questions 'expertise', the impact of failure, Freud's cigars, expectations on the therapist, being a therapist, the value of apologies, letting be, niggles, the vicissitudes of memory, the pointlessness of questions, what therapists miss, hopes, goals, taboos, finishing therapy, money, notes ... and many, many more significant possibilities that arise in the course of a week's regular sessions. This beautiful little book contains space within for your own notes, thoughts, and reflections after each reflection from Michael. This gives you the opportunity to ponder, to savour, to develop or disagree on the ideas you encounter. Take your time, slow down, and allow your thoughts to grow.
