Patrick Casement is a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with over fifty years of clinical experience. For decades, he has run a private practice from the front room of his London home where Gabriela Mercado had the privilege to meet him. In an open conversation Patrick explores his work with patients, his personal journey, and his latest book. The space he always worked from is now changed, but the atmosphere remains filled with lively memories. Patrick’s recollection of his patients is vivid because — as Andrew Samuels refers to him — he is a true pioneer of today’s relational psychotherapy thinking and as such, he has allowed his work to truly touch his life.
