Acknowledgments

Many people supported me while researching and writing this book. My collaborators at the Department of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Consulting at Ghent University provided me with support and inspiration, for which I am grateful. The same is true for the many colleagues that I regularly meet and have met in the clinical setting, and for the experts by experience including Brenda Froyen, Ingrid Lammerant, and Hind Fraïhi, who, with their personal stories, inspired me to refine my ideas. Special thanks to Ignaas Devisch, with whom I discussed several key ideas that are discussed in Chap. 4. Above all I want to thank the psychology students following my classes on Clinical Psychological Assessm
