(5 out of 5)
One of the most humane and fascinatingly intimate books on the psychoanalytic interaction (On Learning from The Patient; 1985, Routledge) shows Casement's capacity to enter the imaginative capacity of both analyst and patient, recognising, if painfully at times, our feet of analytic clay.
Now he has given us another humane, but quite different, set of stories. This time, a laugh-out-loud account of just how the wondrous mishaps, misadventures and misunderstandings of his youth led to the inevitable conclusion that he just had to become an analyst. Such a wonderfully loving account of the human condition has helped me, not only to see the funny side of experience but also, I hope, to grow up a little, in laughter, myself.
Susan Lendrum, Psychotherapist and Supervisor
