The Therapeutic Self: Developing Resonance--Key to Effective Relationships

by John G. Watkins

Summary

Uses various theoretical points of view to examine the concept that there is such an entity as a therapeutic self—a person whose impact on others is consistently beneficial, over and beyond his technical knowledge. A theory is presented which suggests an effective way by which a psychotherapist and patient can interact. Recorded case examples of the therapeutic self in action are presented to illustrate attempts to study this entity through objective evaluation.
