If you’ve ever been in or considered entering psychotherapy, this book can be enormously helpful. It is an excellent resource for all aspects of the therapy process. For example, it guides you in finding competent and qualified therapists that can help you with your particular concerns, it describes what good therapy should and should not be like, and it discusses when to wrap things up and how. It also highlights potential pitfalls and dangers and recommends ways to avoid them. The book is well written and highly readable, and the author uses many anecdotes from therapy patients (with their permission) to illustrate his points. This book is highly recommended for anyone who would like to not only get the best out of their psychotherapy sessions but also would like to protect themselves from damaging psychotherapeutic alliances.
