Customer Reviews

Rejuvenating and inspirational!

This was required reading for my first semester as a psychology grad student and I found it completely motivating and reassuring. It's an easy, enjoyable read and I highly recommend it to any psychology student who wants to be a practicioner. Kottler emphasizes the professional relationship as primary to change versus specific techniques or orientations. If you're in the field and you need a boost, pick this book up!

A wealth of information.

Kottlers' approach to treatment comes alive, thanks to the interweaving of narrative with a wealth of clinical information.

Honest, warm,humorous tale of growing as a psychothearpist

A must read for anyone who does therapy for a living.Kottler is a wonderful writer, and it is unfair that someone so young can have such a gifted view of human beings, our true needs, and how to help people in practical, professional, loving ways. Somewhere in your life there is a friend or therapist that will love this book, and thank you for getting it.
