Brilliant, enlightening, practical. A gem of a book.

This is one of a very small number of books that manage to describe simply, but not simplistically, what analytic work involves.
British Journal of Medical Psychology
Michael Jacobs’s textbook for students and practitioners of psychodynamic therapy became a huge success upon its initial publication, and it remains the gold standard to this day. Written with welcome clarity, deep compassion, and with both a clinical and a practical intelligence, Jacobs will be the perfect guide for trainees in this increasingly important field of endeavor.
Good foundation book for the year 1 course
Psychodynamic Counselling in Action is a good book to introduce students to the practice of psychodynamic counselling. With vignettes extracted from his own clinical work, Michael Jacobs links theory to practice in a clear and accessible way. As well as further reading, the end of each chapter provides useful experiential exercises to promote further thinking and solidify learning.
This is a very well-presented of the foundations and some more contemporary developments in psychodynamic counselling which will be useful for counselling trainees and qualified practitioners as well.
