Jane Haynes

Fascinating book, with accounts of psychotherapy sessions. Starts with some of the author's own therapy, and her relationship with her therapist. The second half describes some of her own clients, once she herself had become a qualified psychotherapist.

Gives a good insight into how the therapeutic process can work over many sessions. Also questions some of the traditional principles and taboos. Fairly complex in places - I couldn't read a lot at one sitting, so it's taken a couple of weeks to finish. I'm glad I knew at least a little bit about psychological terminology and Jungian archetypes or it would have been quite confusing at times.

Thought-provoking and honest. I shall probably re-read this in a few years.

Recommended to anyone wanting to know more about therapy, from the perspective of both the client and the therapist.… (meer)
