The essence of the therapeutic experience of a remarkable therapist: She describes not so much the techniques of therapeutic interaction, but rather the practical work of therapy. The book offers invaluable guidance for every therapist that can be implemented one-to-one in their own work. Violet Oaklander's first book dates back to 1978 and has gone through 14 editions as a classic. Now, with her second book, she presents what can be considered her life's work, in which she reflects on the sum of her therapeutic life. Oaklander combines her own biography and therapeutic experiences with cases from everyday therapeutic practice. The book is a genuine guide and a resource for any therapist who does not primarily want to delve into theoretical considerations. It contains many case studies, and the author has a solution for almost everything.
