Swimming Upstream

Plot

First published in 1991. The experiential base from which this book is written the author's seminar for psychiatric residents which emphasizes that self-disclosure with colleagues is an important aspect of becoming a therapist. The ability to look at and listen to one's own work along with one's peers is important in the maturation process. In order to construct a context in which it is possible to learn from each other, I share many of my own psychotherapeutic experiences. More than this, however, Lewis shares personal experiences when they seem appropriate to the teaching-learning process.
