Andrew Samuels Professor of Analytical Psychology University of Essex A person's past is ever present from infancy to old age & it always affects the dynamics of therapy & the therapist-patient relationship. Written by one of the most-cited counselling authors in Europe the bestselling The Presenting Past gives practicing therapists & students keen insight into the subject. The theories of Freud Winnicott Klein & others are organized into three main categories: trust & attachment; authority & autonomy; & cooperation & competitiveness.

Michael's commitment to explore the value of attachment theory for the psychodynamic practice continues with references to the latest cutting edge advances in this field being written into the text. The book's new structure takes the reader into the main themes more quickly & seeing them in practice in therapy. A series of sessions beginning middle & end is then introduced before we proceed to look at the way past experience influences presenting issues. This is part of the evolution of the book & reflects Michael Jacobs' assertion the development of the text reflects 'the dynamic part of the term 'psychodynamic" & his commitment to draw on his lifetime's experience to enable psychodynamic counselling & therapy to have a truly human face."
