Reviews

...I was struck by the honesty and sense of inadequacy of therapists when acknowledging that they were ultimately powerless to help the individuals. Many took the painful experience forward to inform their future work, refusing to remain complacent. Kottler and Carlson's book provides a powerful illustration of how ultimately such personal development leads to a better therapist. Although suitable for all therapists this is especially relevant for those exploring their transition into a deeper developmental stage both personally and professionally. - Angela Cooper, Psychotherapist and counsellor, therapy today September 2006
