Reviews

Written in an engaging, informal style, and is replete with the sorts of examples that can only come from an extended period of experience. -- Tony O'Brien Mental Health Net A helpful book and one that has a place as a first volume for residents beginning to practise psychotherapy. -- Laura Stovel Canadian Journal of Psychiatry The writing style is easy and conversational... will appeal to students for its ability to address their fears and to instructors and supervisors, because it contains a number of conversations worth having with students of psychotherapy. -- Caroline Fisher, M.D., Ph.D. Psychiatric Services
