This book highlights the importance of deep reflection for effective and ethical clinical practice.
The author highlights the importance of personal history and unconscious processes and urges us to reflect on how these may affect the work we do with clients.
Through the personal experience of the several contributors, the book promotes the exploration into the different aspects of personal and professional development and encourages therapists to consider continuing formal training to further develop both personally and professionally.
