Dr Alistair Ross is a University of Oxford academic whose previous work has been described by Ruby Wax as very, very smart. This new introductory book strikes an easy balance between theory and practice. It takes the reader from the fields Freudian roots to its contemporary applications, skills and insights.Over the last 30 years, important new theoretical ideas, skills and clinical practices have emerged in counselling and psychotherapy. While key Freudian concepts like transference, counter-transference and the influence of the past on the present remain vital to psychodynamic work, research drawn from infant development, neuroscience, the role of the sacred, and intersubjective approaches to relationships has changed the way therapists understand and work with clients. Either in its own right or as part of an integrative approach, psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy have an important role to play in developments to come.The books features include: A re-discovery of the importance and relevance of Freud for present-day therapeutic relationships. An encounter with the breadth and depth of our understanding about, and experience of, the unconscious. An introduction to research that has evolved after Freud, revealing new ways of applying his ideas. A contemporary perspective on traditional counselling and psychotherapy skills, illustrated by vignettes and personal insights from Alistair Rosss professional practice. An encouragement to develop new skills for relating at depth with our clients past, present and future, motivated by revealing how life-changing therapy can be.This book is a must-read for trainee and practising (psychodynamic or integrative) therapists who want an overview of new thinking and practice or might benefit from greater insight into psychodynamic practice, applying Freuds theoretical world to improving the lives of real people today.It is good to see Alistair, a valued student of mine and now an equally valued colleague, taking up the torch for psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy for a new generation. He has written a book that collates much of the valuable writing to date and at the same time adds new dimensions that should not be overlooked.Michael Jacobs, Visiting Professor, University of Leeds and Bournemouth University, UK
