This book demonstrates the use of psychoanalytic thinking in front line mental health settings and aims to make available an approach to working with emotional and mental disturbance to a wide range of clinicians within psychiatric and other mental health settings.
In this book, Marcus Evans makes a strong case for the importance of psychoanalytic supervision in mental health practice and its role in helping frontline staff to "tune in" to their patients' unconscious communications or the "psychotic wavelength".
