Louis Cozolino, one of our most compelling clinical writers, takes us
inside the mind and heart of a seasoned therapist, carrying on the
tradition of personal and professional writing begun in The Making of a
Therapist. This book discusses some of the more abstract concepts and
ways of interacting with clients such as relaxed curiosity, finding the
secret ally, and discovering the deep narrative. Also addressed are
clinical concepts such as related states of mind, the process of change,
free-floating attention, and listening with the third ear.
More than just theoretical commentary, the book offers concrete clinical
advice for the experienced therapist and brings a fresh perspective to
some of the most current clinical challenges including the complexities
of executive functioning; treating clients with internet addiction; and
taking responsibility for your continued personal growth, clinical
supervision, and education after leaving school.
