“Joseph Lichtenberg, a master clinician, has distilled a lifetime of experience into this clearly written and thoughtfully presented book. Lichtenberg explains the craft and captures the spirit of inquiry that constitutes contemporary psychoanalytic therapy. With numerous illustrations of actual clinical exchange, this human, flexible, and compassionate portrayal of psychotherapy serves as an excellent introductory text.”- Lewis Aron, Ph.D., Director, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis“Joseph Lichtenberg has done it again. He has written a book that is so filled with information about our ever-more complex field and how to find our way about in it, that I, who have read everything he has ever written, was surprised and delighted to discover what a treasure it is. Once again the information is fresh and intelligently presented, and once again the clinical examples are lucid and compelling. Dr. Lichtenberg presents his material so clearly and covers so much ground that the book’s audience will include both experienced and recently trained practitioners and interested laypersons as well. I can only congratulate him on this exemplary achievement.”- Estelle Shane, Ph.D., Training and Supervising Analyst, Institute of Contemporary Analysis, Los Angeles"Lichtenberg's text delivers exactly what its title promises: a guide to the exploratory therapies. He gives a tremendous overview of all the factors that are involved with providing psychotherapy from a depth perspective. Included in this guide are an abundance of clinical case examples that illustrate Lichtenberg's points, which help the reader understand how to implement his suggestions when in the room with a client....text is helpful for newcomers to the field, midlevel professionals desiring a review of what they learned in graduate school, and seasoned psychotherapists looking for a readable account of the latest research in the field. Highly recommended..."- PsycCRITIQUES
