In response, London reconceptualises the therapist's identity in a contemporary way, transcending preconceived labels, by bringing an understanding of performance art into an analysis of psychotherapeutic practice. Through this interdisciplinary approach, London attends to the complex questions faced by psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in training and in practice: can a therapist perform \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e be authentic? Can a therapist perform and have true intimate relationships within the confines of that performance? And can a therapist perform as themselves?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis provocative and highly original work will provide both new and experienced psychotherapists with an understanding of the clinical and philosophical significance of performance art to cultivating therapeutic identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sara London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032535806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032535807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Sara London","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621887258879,"sku":"9781032535807","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-performance-therapist-and-authentic-sara-london-9781032535807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
