Patrick Casement obtained his degree at Cambridge University, in Anthropology and Theology. He then trained to become a social worker at Barnett House, Oxford, and later completed the Probation training at Rayner House, London. He practiced social work for 3 years in a probation department followed by 7 years as a family caseworker at the Family Welfare Association. He subsequently trained as an analytical psychotherapist and then as a psychoanalyst. Until he retired he was a training and supervising analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society.
Casement’s first book On Learning from the Patient, published in 1985, became an international best seller -- now in over twenty languages. A later book, Learning from Our Mistakes, published in 2002, was awarded a Gradiva Award for its contribution to psychoanalysis. His last book Learning from Life: becoming a psychoanalyst (2006) is partly autobiographical - an unusual step for an analyst but one he feels able to take now that he is retired.
