An easy, thoughtful and interesting book on ISTDP

Habib Davanloo, the founder of ISTDP , has written this book with great clarity and in a very interesting fashion. As a beginner psychotherapist I found it very very useful and informative. The case examples are rich in content and at the same time make the theory easy to understand and apply. I recommend it to all the psychotherpists who are interested in dynamic principles.
