“With the publication of this book, clinicians of all stripes can gain access to a psychoanalytically informed approach to therapy, including worksheets and illustrative case examples. Readers wondering what makes therapy ‘psychodynamic’ will find answers in Busch’s masterful work. This book should be required reading in diverse mental health and psychotherapy training programs.”
