Between Therapist and Client: The New Relationship
Between Therapist and Client: The New Relationship Books
Product Description
This book examines one of the most complex aspects of psychotherapy: the therapist – client relationship. Drawing on his extensive clinical experience and the theories of Freud, Rogers, Gill and Kohut, Kahn shows how classical transference analysis can be combined with contemporary humanistic emphasis on warmth and empathy. The new, rationalized Second Edition features greater discussion of ethics and countertransference. It is apt as a supplement for courses on psychotherapy/counselling theory or do.

One of the simplest to read books for social work do with clients. It was very enjoyable to read and very matter-of-fact for anyone studying clinical social work on a graduate level.

I bought this book for one of my early classes on psychotherapy; Michael Kahn is an
instructor at my alma mater, CIIS (in SF). I’m so glad I did. It’s an brilliant book.
Between Therapist and Client clarifies, in small detail, the history of relational psychotherapy,
starting with Freud. Key concepts such as Transference and Countertransference are discussed.
Kahn also reviews the ways in which relational therapies differ; case examples are given to
highlight each theory.
Best of all, Kahn’s writing style is relational; I felt he was truly talking to me; so, he walks the talk.
This is a fantastic book, a mandatory book, I reckon, for any beginning shrink, or any therapist who
wants to grind her skills of date with clients. You’ll like how simple it is to read this (compared
to heavy theory books), and to apply it to your do as a therapist.

I feel this book is an brilliant study guide for students of psychology and those who’re working with individuals already in the helping field.
I find that this is one of the many books that I’ll hold on to after the course is long done and gone.
This book is one of those that one keeps and doesn’t feel terribly about having bought it for just one course for one semester.

The author is advocating a different sort of psychiatric treatment where the counselor is “bestow” rather than distant (like in habitual Freudian treatment), provides feedback to what they are thought (depending on the situation) and other sorts of non-habitual inputs to therapy.
I can’t say I agree with his position, probably because my own shrink is pretty habitual. But, the book is fantastic explaining basic psychological concepts and the background of the non-habitual therapies.
I would urge this as part of a run of books on the theme rather than as stand-lonely.

I like how Mr. Kahn writes, he takes concepts that are trying and simplifies them so even though I don’t know much about psychology I was able to know the fascinating theories he outlines.
