My T does not give homework, either. He is quite psychoanalytical. I never ask for it, either, but I often think about stuff between sessions. I usually intend to bring up my thoughts in the next session, but then something else always seems to come up. But as my T would say, "if it comes up, it must be important." "And if it is supposed to come up, it will again."
I would be interested, too, in the book about homework. As a T in training, I rarely give homework, either. And I admit, I often neglect to follow up on it. I'm so used to thinking of each session as a stand alone session AND as part of a continuing theme. I forget about assigning the homework, sometimes, unless I have re-read my notes before I see the client. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this. I think I will have to be more diligent in following up if the client does not bring it up, first.
