Elusive Elements in Practice

The third volume in the "The Practice of Psychotherapy" series, Elusive Elements in Practice, brings together a collection of papers examining the ideas and theories more commonly regarded as off-centre, or indeed elusive, in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The papers in this volume concentrate on the religious and spiritual dimension of the therapeutic encounter, the "aesthetic experience", creativity, and mysticism. These "moments of relatedness", or meetings of minds, are discussed and examined with the help of clinical examples. Book jacket.
