In \u003ci\u003eThe Symptom is Not the Whole Story\u003c\/i\u003e, Araoz introduces the functional benefits and applications of psychoanalysis for these practitioners. Focusing sharply on the unconscious and its use in psychotherapy, this no-nonsense book illustrates how psychoanalytical thinking can transform peopleâÄôs lives, thanks to the therapist's active interventions and destabilizing interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a vivid and clear style, where clinical examples pointedly illustrate the psychological issues at hand, this book reverses the commonly held idea that psychoanalysis requires years of treatment before showing results. Araoz's talent resides in his ability to teach mental health, marriage, and family counselors how to use psychoanalytic techniques without having been trained primarily in the discipline. All will find this book to be of particular benefit, discovering valuable guidance and applicable instructions for the use of psychoanalysis in their own therapeutic practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040953417968,"sku":"9781590512173","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590512173_p0.jpg?v=1763802349","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590512173","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
