My Evolution as a Psychotherapist
Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy(2024)
Abstract
Psychotherapy has evolved over the past 50 years and many seasoned psychotherapists have evolved as well. In the current paper, Dr Paul Wachtel summarizes his evolution as a psychotherapist. Dr. Wachtel is a Distinguished Professor in the Doctoral Training Program in clinical psychology at the City University of New York. For the past 50 years, Dr. Wachtel has been a prolific writer, a skilled clinician, and the chief advocate for integrating different theoretical orientations to enhance the field of psychotherapy. His extensive training in psychoanalysis provided a strong foundation on which to build a comprehensive and integrative view of psychotherapy. The paper provides a fascinating view of a skilled and prolific integrationist [N.B. Abstract created by the journal editor].
