This substantially revised fifth edition of a classic text includes an updated preface, new content on the therapeutic relationship, substantially revised chapters on the middle phase of counselling and reflections on the influence of other modalities and shared aspects of practice across approaches. Each chapter now includes an annotated further listening section to help deepen knowledge and reinforce learning of key aspects of the counselling process.

Critic reviews

Brilliant, enlightening, practical. A gem of a book. (British Journal of Guidance and Counselling)

One of the most reliable (and readable) guides to what is involved in counselling...Jacobs' well-organized and comprehensive summaries of the main theories and his illustrations of psychodynamic counselling drawn from his own work will inspire students and trainees on counselling and therapy courses. They will also interest (and create envy) in more experienced readers. (Professor Andrew Samuels, Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex)

This is one of a very small number of books that manage to describe simply, but not simplistically, what analytic work involves. (British Journal of Medical Psychology)

NOTE: I did not realize that the author was based in the United Kingdom when I purchased this, but besides some of the differences between the U.S. and U.K. mental healthcare systems, the theory & practical applications provided a great resource for a learning psychotherapist interested in psychodynamic counselling!

The narration was good and easy to listen to, the book was excellently written and the examples helpful, I would recommend this book to any clinician or future clinician who wants to perform psychodynamic-oriented therapy/counselling.

A Great Guide for Beginning Therapists

That is the question that Psychodynamic counselors are always asking, according to this audiobook. For example, why is my client wearing brighter colors today? What does that mean?

This audiobook gave me a good overview of a fascinating theory. But I wish the author had included examples from real life cases.

"What does that mean?"
