GG-
Thanks for the welcome back! I had thought you were Ph.D., but I must admit I'm refreshed to hear you're also in a PsyD program! I do enjoy the relative switch of emphasis onto our clinical practice...there's still plenty of research, but it's nice to know that our priorities are embraced!
I agree with you that the general attitude is to avoid private practice, but I've been fortunate in having several of my practica with successful private practitioners...I think it's more a matter of learning the twisted art of making your interventions acceptable to insurance :-). I'm getting the impression that you're further along in your training than I am, so I'm certainly appreciating the insights you've been providing as you progress toward the doctorate.
The current text we're using in our Phenomenological class is "Neurosis and Treatment: A Holistic Theory" by Andras Angyal. I have to admit that I was fervently cognitive therapy oriented when I entered the program, but I am absolutely floored by the insights this book has provided. It has also been of great benefit to several clients. It is out of print right now (?!?!?!?) but my classmates and myself were able to find numerous copies on half.com, ebay, bookfinder, etc. Let me know what you think!
The bulk of our reading material is from our professor's privately compiled resource list. If you'd like, I'd be happy to discuss these further and share the articles I have. Just lemme know.
Thanks for the reply :-)
