ON LEARNING FROM THE PATIENT

Book ID/图书代码： 12844010B39037

English Summary/英文概要： On Learning from the Patient is concerned with the potential for psychoanalytic thinking to become self-perpetuating. Patrick Casement explores afresh the dynamics of the helping relationship - learning to recognize how patients offer cues to the therapeutic experience that they are unconsciously in search of. Using many telling clinical examples, he illustrates how, through trial identification, he has learned to monitor the implications of his own contributions to a session from the viewpoint of the patient. He thus shows how, with the aid of this internal supervision, many initial failures to respond appropriately can be remedied and even used to the benefit of the therapeutic work. By learning to distinguish better what helps the therapeutic process from what hinders it, ways are discovered whereby the circularity of pre-conception can more effectively be avoided by those who aim to understand the unconscious of others. From this lively examination of key clinical issues, the author comes to see psychoanalytic therapy as a process of re-discovering theory - and developing a technique that is more specifically related to the individual patient. The dynamics illustrated here, particularly the processes of interactive communication and containment, occur in any helping relationship and are applicable throughout the caring professions. Patrick Casement’s unusually frank presentation of his own work, aided by his lucid and non-technical language, allows wide scope for readers to form their own ideas about the approach to technique he describes. This book, together with its sequel Further Learning from the Patient, will be invaluable to trainee and practising analysts or therapists, and those teaching in related professions.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书关注如何使精神分析思考的能力得到自我保持和延续。帕特里克•凯斯门特探索了助人关系的动力——学会识别病人是如何提供线索的，这些线索显示了病人无意识搜寻的治疗体验。作者通过大量的临床案例，展示了如何通过使用尝试认同，学会从病人的视角观察他自己对治疗的贡献。他借助内部督导，展示了许多最初未能恰当进行的回应是如何得到补救，甚至给治疗工作带来帮助的。旨在理解他人无意识的分析师们，可以通过学习如何更好地区分治疗中的促进因素和阻碍因素，找到方法来避免出现先入为主的循环。通过对临床关键因素的积极检查，作者将精神分析治疗看作是为每个病人重建理论、发展治疗技术的过程。

这里所说的动力，尤其是互动沟通和涵容的过程，出现在所有的助人关系中，适用于所有的助人职业。帕特里克•凯斯门特用清晰易懂的非专业术语，非同寻常、毫不掩饰地呈现了自己的工作，这让广大读者可以对他所描述的技术方法形成自己的观点。

这一经典版本中增加了安德鲁•塞缪尔斯（Andrew Samuels）的介绍。本书将成为实习生、执业精神分析师或治疗师、相关职业培训教师的宝贵培训资料。(DB)
