At the same time, still \u003cem\u003epracticing\u003c\/em\u003e suggests that for the clinician \"practice\" never \"makes perfect.\" We continue to refine our clinical instruments over our entire working lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFramed by her previous work on the concept of emotional balance, Sandra Buechler investigates how vicissitudes in a clinical career can have a profound and lasting impact on the clinician's emotional balance, and considers how the clinician's resilience is maintained in the face of the personal fallout of a lifetime of clinical practice. At each juncture, from training to early phases of clinical experience, through mid and late career, she asks, what can help us maintain a vital interest in our work? How do we not burn out?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAimed at the nexus of the personal and theoretical, \u003cem\u003eStill Practicing\u003c\/em\u003e concentrates on the sadness, feelings of shame, and satisfactions inherent in practice, and encourages newcomers and veterans alike to make career choices mindful of their potential long-term impact on their feelings about being therapists. It poses a question vital to the life of the clinician: How can we strike a balance between the work's inevitable pain and its potential joy?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Buechler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415879124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415879125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Sandra Buechler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47421779575039,"sku":"9780415879125","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd0cdd66-2627-418c-bddc-53a7dbe39b82.jpg?v=1761527183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/still-practicing-sandra-buechler-9780415879125","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
