Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
...a delightful read... The authors demonstrate the value of the 'aesthetic imperative within the therapeutic space when narrative begins to fail'; they show with rich examples how therapists become prompters - prompted themselves by Shakespeare... Within this clearly written, intelligent, witty narrative, they present clinical examples along with the richness of Shakespeare's 'prompts' which can open up the therapist's imagination and deepen the emotional dialogue with the patient. -- American Journal of Psychiatry This book is a way of writing about psychotherapeutic matters missed since Jung. -- Nord J Psychiatry The book is a tour de forcey20...powerful, challenging and scholarly...an exhilarating glimpse into the working reality of two practitioners...a most impressive book...richly stimulating text. -- British Journal of Guidance and Counselling Read more...
