Ralf Zwiebel unterscheidet und untersucht zwei grundlegende Bereiche: In den ersten fallen Behandlungsfehler und Verfehlungen, für die der Therapeut die alleinige Verantwortung trägt. Hier geht es darum, eine für die Praxis handhabbare und valide Fehlerkultur zu entwickeln. In den zweiten Bereich gehört die spezifische innere Arbeitsweise des Analytikers, die einer Dynamik von Gelingen und Scheitern unterliegt. Irrtümer, Täuschungen und Fehlleistungen gehören unvermeidlich zum analytischen Prozess dazu. Obwohl nicht erwünscht, stellen sie doch eine unverzichtbare Quelle des Verstehens und Arbeitens dar.

Dieses Buch richtet sich an:
- PsychoanalytikerInnen
- PsychotherapeutInnen
