Subtitle: a self psychological view of creative intuition and analytic discipline
First published: 1995
Description: Self psychology has given us a framework that makes sense of what we have always done intuitively. In Talking with Patients, Shapiro shows how to balance this clinical intuition with precise technique. Combining contributions from intersubjective theory with those of self psychology, he demonstrates to readers how to monitor their patients' responses as well as read their own. Shapiro adds the utility of interaction and even confrontation to the empathic listening orientation of self psychology.
