Books by Patrick Casement

Presents various incidents in the author's life to demonstrate how these helped lay a foundation for his subsequent understanding of psychoanalysis. This book gives an insight into fundamental questions concerning the acquisition of analytic wisdom and how personal experiences shape the analyst's approach to clinical work.

Examines some of the problems that are inherent to psychoanalysis, particularly in view of the analyst's claim to know the patient's mind better than the patient which can blind the analyst to those times when he is in error.
