"Some of Casement’s observations are nothing short of brilliant." Social Work Today"This book provides some moving insights into analytic technique at work. Free from jargon, it is accessible to anybody." The Economist"Doctors, particularly general practitioners, are often chastised for failing to listen to or communicate properly with patients … Patrick Casement’s book could well serve as a compelling explanation of dynamic dialogue." The Lancet"This is an excellent textbook. It is entertaining to read, and it conveys complex concepts in accessible and easy-to-read ways." International Journal of Psychoanalysis"Casement’s two books (On Learning from the Patient and Further Learning from the Patient) will become classics in their field and deserve to be so. They should be required reading for every psychotherapist in training." Anthony Storr (from the first edition)
