HOW TO SURVIVE AS A PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Book ID/图书代码： 10851022C00005
English Summary/英文概要： A classic work from Nina Coltart revitalised with a brand-new foreword by David E. Scharff with down-to-earth advice on how to run a practice, the pleasures – and pains – of psychotherapy, vivid clinical stories of success and failure, and discussion on the work/life balance. This book is for all psychotherapists, trainees, and those with an interest in therapy.
Nina Coltart’s classic work, How to Survive as a Psychotherapist, was written over a quarter of a century ago and yet still resonates today with sage advice for the aspiring and established psychotherapist. This reissue contains a new Foreword from celebrated psychoanalyst David E. Scharff and an updated Further Reading section.
Not simply a “how to” manual, this compact book is an amalgam of down-to-earth practicality about assessment, the pleasures of psychotherapy as opposed to analysis, details of how to run a practice, vivid clinical stories which don’t necessarily turn out well, discussions of Buddhism, and an autobiographical finale on the balance between life and work, including Coltart’s choice to live alone. Written in deceptively simple language, it reads easily and encourages beginners, but its backbone is the accrued wisdom for a career containing “survival-with-enjoyment” that offers new perspectives to both mid-career and experienced therapists and teachers.
The professional autobiographical quality of the book reveals a lot about Coltart: her love of psychotherapy over full analysis and the number of strictures in analysis that she feels bind rather than guide. She describes the first years, in training and beyond, as full of anxiety: trying to get things right whilst an inner critical voice and the judgement of supervisors and teachers hangs over it all. Slowly, as time goes by, the ability to relax into a career with confidence in one’s own voice, knowledge, and intuition leads to a capacity for enjoyment of what can seem to outsiders a grim profession dealing only with suffering.
Coltart’s book celebrates psychotherapy and its practitioners, and is full of interesting and practical advice that both experienced and novice psychotherapists will find invaluable. This enduring classic has stood the test of time and should be a feature of every aficionado’s bookshelf.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Nina Coltart 的經典作品以 David E. Scharff 的全新前言重新煥發活力，其中提供了關於如何進行治療實踐、心理治療的樂趣和痛苦、成功和失敗的生動臨床故事的務實建議，以及關於工作/生活平衡的討論。本書適用於所有心理治療師、受訓者和對心理治療感興趣的人。
Nina Coltart 的經典著作《如何作為一名心理治療師生存》寫於 25 年前，至今仍為有抱負的成熟心理治療師提供明智的建議。本次再版包含著名精神分析學家 David E. Scharff 的新前言和更新的延伸閱讀部分。
本書不僅僅是一本「如何做」的手冊，這本緊湊的書關於心理評估的實用建議、心理治療相對於分析的樂趣、如何進行實踐的細節、生動的臨床故事（不一定）的混合物，另外也有關於佛教的討論，以及關於生活和工作之間平衡的自傳故事，包括Coltart對獨自生活的選擇。
以容易理解的語言寫成，易於閱讀並鼓勵初學者，以Nina Coltart畢生職業生涯積累的智慧，其中包含「如何快樂生存」，為職業中期和經驗豐富的治療師和教師提供了新的視角。這本書的專業自傳品質揭示了關於柯爾塔特的很多訊息：她對心理治療的熱愛勝過全面分析。她描述了最初的幾年，無論是在培訓中還是在培訓之後，都充滿了焦慮：努力把事情做好，而內心的批評聲音以及主管和老師的判斷籠罩著一切。慢慢地，隨著時間的推移，對自己的聲音、知識和直覺充滿信心的放鬆和專業的能力，最終讓她能享受在外人看來是一個只處理痛苦的嚴峻職業的能力。 Coltart 的書頌揚了心理治療及其從業者，並且充滿了有趣和實用的建議，無論是經驗豐富的心理治療師還是新手心理治療師都會發現這些建議非常寶貴。這本經久不衰的經典經受了時間的考驗，應該成為每個心理書迷的收藏。

About the Author/作者介绍： Nina Coltart 博士是「英國最受尊敬和喜愛的精神分析學家之一。 35 年來，她一直是英國和國際精神分析界的活躍成員，在將分析思想的影響力擴展到學界之外方面發揮了重要作用。」 （A. H. Brafman，〈訃告：Nina Coltart〉，獨立雜誌，1997 年 8 月 18 日）她 1927 年出生於倫敦，1997 年在貝德福德郡的 Leighton Buzzard 去世。她在牛津薩默維爾學院學習現代語言，但繼續接受培訓作為一名醫生，1957 年在聖巴塞洛繆醫院取得資格。獲得資格後，她成為了一名精神科醫生，但她發現對患者的情緒和經歷比對醫療狀況更感興趣。因此，在 1961 年，她以心理治療師的身份開始私人執業，同時在英國精神分析學會接受精神分析學培訓。她於 1964 年獲得準會員資格，1969 年成為正式會員，並於 1971 年成為獨立小組的培訓分析師。
Coltart 博士是國際精神分析界的活躍代表，她教學和演講、並幫助管理各種心理治療培訓，將分析思想帶到了更廣闊的世界。她為英國學會廣泛教授一系列課程，尤其是那些與評估和可分析性問題有關的課程。她建立了廣泛的諮詢和轉診服務，專注於分析治療和精神分析的診斷和評估。從 1972 年到 1982 年，她擔任倫敦診所的主任。從 1984 年到 1987 年，她擔任英國學會副主席及其董事會和理事會主席。她於 1994 年退休。Coltart 博士在心理治療期刊和三本書上發表了許多論文。她的書包括：Slouching Towards Bethlehem… And Further Psychoanalytic Explorations (1992), How to Survive as a Psychotherapist (1993), and The Baby and the Bathwater (1996)。
Nina Coltart was “one of the most admired and liked psychoanalysts in Britain. For 35 years she was an active member of the British and international psychoanalytic community and she played a major role in extending the influence of analytic ideas outside that world.” (A. H. Brafman, “Obituary: Nina Coltart”, Independent, 18 August 1997)
She was born in London in 1927 and passed away in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire in 1997. She read Modern Languages at Somerville College, Oxford, but went on to train as a doctor, qualifying in 1957 at St Bartholomew’s Hospital. After qualification, she worked as a psychiatrist but found more interest in her patients’ emotions and experiences than medical conditions. Thus, in 1961, she set up in private practice as a psychotherapist, concurrently training as a psychoanalyst with the British Psychoanalytical Society. She qualified in 1964 as an associate member, became a full member in 1969, and a training analyst in the Independent Group in 1971.
A dynamic representative of the international psychoanalytic community, teaching and lecturing and also helping to administer various psychotherapy trainings, Dr Coltart went beyond the usual confines to bring analytic ideas to the wider world. She taught extensively for the British Society on a series of courses, especially those concerned with questions of assessment and analysability. She built up an extensive consultation and referral service, concentrating on diagnosis and assessment for analytical therapy and for psychoanalysis. From 1972 to 1982, she was Director of the London Clinic, which interviews and assesses potential training cases for students of the British Society. She was Vice-President of the British Society and Chairman of its Board and Council from 1984 to 1987. She retired in 1994.
Dr Coltart published numerous papers in psychotherapy journals and three books: Slouching Towards Bethlehem… And Further Psychoanalytic Explorations (1992), How to Survive as a Psychotherapist (1993), and The Baby and the Bathwater (1996), which are all reissued by Phoenix.
