This will disprove Mark Twain's adage that a claasic is a book that everyone talks about but no-one reads. Not only talk about, read but also enthuse about! A first recommendation for all professionals involved with stroke care, honest, practical and beautifully presented. They don't come much better than this....

This is an essential book for the supervising psychotherapist, be the supervisor a psychologist, a marriage and family therapist, a psychiatrist, a social worker or an analyst.

The authors succeed in conveying the subtleties and nuances of teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in an easy to read and well-organized manner. The content is serious and clinically sophisticated. The authors' candor and many real life examples keep the reader riveted as specific supervisory encounters are presented along with clinically well thought out teaching strategies. Throughout the text suggested supervisory interventions are accompanied by clinical explanation.

This book lends a refreshing clinical depth to the chapters dedicated to the opening phase of supervision, supervisory interventions and termination. In my opinion, the chapters on Self-Esteem Issues for the Supervisee and The Supervisor's Role reach the core of the delicate balance of the supervisory relationship. Other chapter titles include: Inductive and Associative Modes of Thought, Affect and Professional Development and, How Personal Should Supervision Be?

In The Supervisory Encounter there is no dogmatic stance but instead the reader encounters an attitude that is tolerant of different individual styles of supervision and of learning. This attitude conveys compassion and respect for both the supervisee and the supervisor while maintaining the boundary and the distinction between psychotherapy and the teaching of psychotherapy.

This book is a valuable guide for patients grappling with autonomic dysfuntion, and also for their relatives. Several different classes of sycope are covered in detail. Many patients spend years trying to get a correct diagnosis, and after diagnosis, they struggle to find some helpful therapy. Many family practice physicians may see a patient with prodromal symptoms for years before referring them to a specialist. This work helps explain why these problems are often brushed aside.

As webmaster of Scleroderma from A to Z (sclero.org), a 550+ page site that is available in 11 languages, I find myself turning to this book for solid medical information nearly every single day.

This is a full-fledged medical book, suited for doctors, researchers, and for patients who are at ease with complicated medical jargon...or who are willing to wade through it to understand more about the disease and its possible complications.

You will definitely find more information in this book than anywhere on the Internet. It is an absolute must for rheumatology libraries, and for all doctors who have patients that are unable to travel to a scleroderma treatment center.

I am continually shocked by the numbers of patients I hear from who have suffered scleroderma symptoms for years -- and even decades -- before being properly diagnosed. If more doctors read this book, and kept scleroderma in mind as a possible diagnosis, this could prevent untold misery and waylaid diagnosis for many people.

Please get this book -- and study it well! -- if you care for any scleroderma patients. This is a very complex, devastating, and all-too-often deadly disease which will bring to bear all of your medical expertise.

This book also covers a wide array of scleroderma-like illnesses. It explains rare complications and the nearly the very latest information available on the front of scleroderma research.
