The Story
Engaging patients in the process of selfunderstanding and providing them with tools to continue therapeutic work is at the center of Fred Buschs clinical approach. Dr. Busch shows how therapists too often interpret more from what they understand rather than what the patient is ready to hear, and that many aspects of the psychoanalytic method have been geared more toward maintaining the analyst as omniscient and omnipotent observer rather than toward attempting to engage the patients ego with the process. This important new work shows us how to change that perspective in order to work with patients as partners in a truly collaborative endeavor.
