Patrick Casement on Learning Along the Way - 23 November, 2018

Описание: Patrick Casement is a social worker, psychoanalyst and the author of several iconic books about psychoanalytic psychotherapy: "On Learning from the Patient," "Further Learning from the Patient" (combined in the US edition in one volume entitled "Learning from the Patient"); "Learning from Our Mistakes," "Learning from Life," and others. This short video was shot in London on Friday evening, November 23, 2018, at a private book launch party, hosted by the local Vicar. Casement is introduced by Professor Andrew Samuels, Jungian training analyst and storied author in his own right.

Casement describes his writing (and not writing) process, how his muse strikes, how he came to write his first work, On Learning from the Patient, and how his latest (and, he says, his last) work came to be. Learning Along the Way distills fifty years of clinical experience. He completed the manuscript in seven weeks, from his many writings over the years, that suddenly assembled themselves into an order and consistency that warranted a book.

"This is the most important collection of essays to appear in many years. This is one of those rare books that is not only a delight to read, but that offers a priceless education in the art of analytic psychotherapy."
Ted Jacobs, MD

"It always pays to read Casement. And then to re-read him. He provokes, challenges, illuminates and delights us. I know that the papers here in this final collection, including those on supervision and training, will always stay with me. I am sorry this is his last book, but what a very good one."
Susie Orbach, PhD, In Therapy.

"It is always inspiring to immerse oneself in the writings of a master, to experience the evolution of his craft over time. These classics are accessible stories interwoven with priceless wisdom only deep clinical process and fully lived experience can reap."
Andrea Celenza, PhD, Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute
