BOOK DR. BARSNESS

“So much of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy—of any relationship really—is an intimate working-with of internal material in the outside world alongside an interested other. One could say the same, or something similar, regarding the teacher/student dynamic. I knew I was interested in Roy as soon as he uttered some of his provocative introductory remarks in a graduate class with him at the helm. I knew he was interested in me that first time I scheduled an office hour and found myself pouring my soul out to his truly empathetic and attentive ear. Across my career Roy has given me more of the same—his time, his heart and mind and soul, his experience, and his passion to help me with all of that internal material that any starting therapist has to navigate and sort out. Better still, he’s given me his interest—which of course is but another name for love.”
– Michael Louderback

“I have to say Roy’s class was better than I expected. And I don’t say that lightly, either. I was luckily familiar with the material Roy was covering, which let me focus on the students and Roy’s teaching with more ease. I think Roy’s big point of the class dovetailed nicely with some of what we were talking about – the relationship between theory and practice, and the importance of how you are being, rather than what you are saying, in the therapeutic relationship. Roy is an amazing teacher and hearing him talk about the clients he’s had in the past was moving.”
