Synopsis
A classic work from Nina Coltart revitalised with a new foreword by David E. Scharff with down-to-earth advice on how to run a practice, the pleasures - and pains - of psychotherapy, vivid clinical stories of success and failure, and discussion on the work/life balance. For all psychotherapists, trainees, and those with an interest in therapy., Nina Coltart's classic work, How to Survive as a Psychotherapist , was written over a quarter of a century ago and yet still resonates today with sage advice for the aspiring and established psychotherapist. This reissue contains a new Foreword from celebrated psychoanalyst David E. Scharff and an updated Further Reading section. Not simply a "how to" manual, this compact book is an amalgam of down-to-earth practicality about assessment, the pleasures of psychotherapy as opposed to analysis, details of how to run a practice, vivid clinical stories which don't necessarily turn out well, discussions of Buddhism, and an autobiographical finale on the balance between life and work, including Coltart's choice to live alone. Written in deceptively simple language, it reads easily and encourages beginners, but its backbone is the accrued wisdom for a career containing "survival-with-enjoyment" that offers new perspectives to both mid-career and experienced therapists and teachers. The professional autobiographical quality of the book reveals a lot about Coltart: her love of psychotherapy over full analysis and the number of strictures in analysis that she feels bind rather than guide. She describes the first years, in training and beyond, as full of anxiety: trying to get things right whilst an inner critical voice and the judgement of supervisors and teachers hangs over it all. Slowly, as time goes by, the ability to relax into a career with confidence in one's own voice, knowledge, and intuition leads to a capacity for enjoyment of what can seem to outsiders a grim profession dealing only with suffering. Coltart's book celebrates psychotherapy and its practitioners, and is full of interesting and practical advice that both experienced and novice psychotherapists will find invaluable. This enduring classic has stood the test of time and should be a feature of every aficionado's bookshelf., Not simply a "how to" manual but, rather, an amalgam of down-to-earth practicality that talks about assessment, the pleasures of psychotherapy as opposed to psychoanalysis, details of how to run a practice, vivid clinical stories which don't always turn out well, discussions of Buddhism, and an autobiographical finale on the difficult balance between life and work. Written in deceptively simple language, this comprehensive guide not only encourages beginners on this path, but also offers new perspectives to mid-career and experienced therapists and teachers. The voice of Nina Coltart comes through clearly, as does her love of psychotherapy and her desire for all who practise to experience 'survival-with-enjoyment'. Her unflinching honesty is a joy to read; this is a book that addresses practicalities - right down to the decoration of the therapy room - and talks openly about the many paradoxes of this unique profession. Celebrating psychotherapy and its practitioners, Dr Coltart's book is full of interesting and practical advice that both experienced and novice psychotherapists will find invaluable. This enduring classic has stood the test of time and should be a feature of every aficionado's bookshelf. This reissued classic contains a new Foreword from David E. Scharff and an updated Further Reading section.

- r***b (123)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGraphic novel album was sealed, NM, great value. Seller was great and responsive to communication. Item initially did not arrive despite tracking and me calling USPS, and seller was willing to provide refund to make it right. Ultimately the package showed up days later, which was baffling; seller provided A+ customer service through all of this. Thank You!
- n***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy statue was exactly as described, it was un-opened and in perfect condition! Totally wirth the price. Getting it shipped took a little long but the seller was very responsive when I messaged and sent me the tracking as soon as it was available. Plus they did a good job packaging it well enough that despite being banged up on the outside my item was completely undamaged.
- 2***0 (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe basket is perfectly what I ordered and as listed. It came in the factory packaging and was perfect upon delivery. Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.
