Edited by Sharon Klayman Farber, the collection examines how clinicians can use their own history of wounds to work more effectively with patients, while considering the risk of becoming “wounding healers.” Includes scholarly research and case examples across multiple chapters.","Celebrating the Wounded Healer Psychotherapist  \nWhy would someone decide to become a psychotherapist? It is well known within the field that psychoanalysts and psychotherapists are often drawn to their future professions as a result of early traumatic experiences and being helped by their own psychoanalytic treatment. While dedicating their lives to relieving emotional suffering without being judgmental, they fear compromising their reputations if they publicly acknowledge such suffering in themselves. This phenomenon is nearly universal among those in the helping professions, yet there are few books dedicated to the issue.  \nIn this innovative book, Farber and a distinguished range of contributors examine how the role of the “wounded healer” was instrumental in the formulation of psychoanalysis, and how using their own woundedness can help clinicians work more effectively with their patients, and advance theory in a more informed manner.  \nCelebrating the Wounded Healer Psychotherapist will be of interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, graduate students in clinical disciplines including psychology, social work, ministry/chaplaincy and nursing, as well as the general public.  \nSharon Klayman Farber, Ph.D., is a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, clinical social worker, author, teacher, and independent scholar. She maintains a private practice in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, treating children, adolescents, and adults.  \n“Dr. Sharon Farber’s new book condenses a great deal of information that is vital to all of us who practice psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Her unique focus is on the way so many of us are ‘wounded healers,’ the way we utilize our own history of wounds—abuse, abandonment, mis-attunement, violence, narrative distortions—to recognize and heal the wounds ofour patients. She also shows how some become“wounding healers,” how what we do with patients can become a repetition of what was done to us. Jung was one of the first to describe the wounded healer and Freud a major example of someone who, in avoiding his own history of loss and neglect, became a wounding healer. One ofFarber’s central points is that one’s own therapy or analysis is crucial in using one’s history in effective ways.  \nThe book is filled with case examples that illustrate these themes, including ten chapters written by other therapists, each with a specific focus that enriches and expands the major points. Overall, the book is scholarly and well researched, clearly and compellingly written, with evocative imagery that brings the material alive.” Louis Breger, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, California Institute of Technology; author of Freud: Darkness in the Midst of Vision  \n“When asked what makes a great psychologist, Jung responded,‘Someone who has to spend his life in a mental hospital, the only question whether as a patient or doctor.’ Sharon Farber’s work explores how wounds we undergo can make us more sensitive to others. Her focus is on people who became therapists, partly asa way of healing themselves by helping others. The idea that a psychotherapist suffers injuries shared by many is neither idealized nor debunked. What matters is the creative response to what one must go through and the value this has for therapeutic work.” Michael Eigen, Ph.D., Author of Faith and Contact With the Depths  \n“In this comprehensive and insightful book, Sharon Farber succeeds in humanizing therapists, outing them as ‘wounded healers’ in a way that opens an otherwise intimidating door for both clients and the professionals themselves. From therapists to shamani to religious gurus, she asks the question: Is the wound an eye that sees? Does it cultivate compassion or a badge that feeds the therapists’ narcissism? Anyone considering psychotherapy either as a client or as a profession would dowell to read this cautionary book so that they may be better equipped to tell the difference.” Andrea Celenza, Ph.D., Training and Supervising Analy","cbCaiic7vDwEneGv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiic7vDwEneGv","pdf",2564358,1,243,"English","en",105,"# Pain, post-traumatic growth and self-disclosure\n## Role of the wounded healer in psychoanalysis\n## Using personal wounds to work with patients\n## Avoiding the risk of becoming “wounding healers”\n## Case examples and multi-author clinical chapters","[{\"question\":\"Why do some people choose to become psychotherapists or psychoanalysts?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains that many are drawn to these professions due to early traumatic experiences and having been helped by their own psychoanalytic treatment.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the “wounded healer” concept influence clinical work?\",\"answer\":\"The collection argues that using one’s own woundedness can help clinicians work more effectively with patients and advance theory in a more informed way.\"},{\"question\":\"What distinguishes a “wounded healer” from a “wounding healer”?\",\"answer\":\"It describes the possibility that clinicians may repeat patterns from what was done to them;
