| Abstract: | In Australia, training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy differs greatly from psychological training. Within the Australian and New Zealand Association of Adult Psychotherapy, the training process allows for a more comfortable mix of art and science, as well as clinical theory. It is also experiential and has a deeply relational style. This article elaborates on the breadth and depth of newly discovered psychic landscapes that result from this particular psychodynamic training. The aim is to illuminate how the training enables the trainee to empathize and converse with clients for transformations to occur. |
