Psychodynamic Counselling in Action is widely regarded as the most accessible introduction to this complex subjects for students, counsellors and therapists working with different orientations. Revised and updated to take account of current practice, and now extensively referenced, the second edition describes the psychodynamic counselling process from the first meeting to termination. Michael Jacobs clearly sets out the main aspects of the approach and using two case studies - a man and a woman - he shows how these can be applied creatively and effectively within counselling practice. Psychodymanic Counselling in Action is essential reading for all trainees and practitioners who want to develop knowledge and skills in this area.
