Description

The Impossibility of Knowing: Dilemmas of a Psychotherapist by Routledge brings together years of clinical work and professional thinking into one comprehensive volume. This book is designed for readers interested in the deep complexities of clinical psychology and the realities of therapeutic practice. The text is organized into three distinct parts to provide a clear understanding of different therapeutic challenges. The first part examines patients with specific types of psychopathology, looking closely at the difficulties found in technique and thought processes. The second part shifts focus to the emotional complexities of the clinical relationship, addressing themes of love, hate, and the erotic. In the final section, the book explores specific challenges to the psychotherapeutic frame. This includes detailed chapters on enactments and the unique difficulties of working with an absent patient. Throughout the work, clinical vignettes serve to illustrate these concepts, helping the reader connect theory to real-world application. By focusing on the importance of an enquiring mind, this book offers a deep look into the lived experience of a psychotherapist.
