At the same time, still \u003cem\u003epracticing\u003c\/em\u003e suggests that for the clinician \"practice\" never \"makes perfect.\" We continue to refine our clinical instruments over our entire working lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFramed by her previous work on the concept of emotional balance, Sandra Buechler investigates how vicissitudes in a clinical career can have a profound and lasting impact on the clinician's emotional balance, and considers how the clinician's resilience is maintained in the face of the personal fallout of a lifetime of clinical practice.
