sminismoni 's review for:
As a trauma therapist, this book really spoke to me. I agree that it is geared towards practitioners working in private practice, with a largely middle-class, educated clientele attending for psychotherapy. However, I felt this book helped me to deal with a particularly rough professional time for me - just after the death of a long term patient of mine. It helped me realize that the connection formed in therapy is always the most meaningful thing, not the specific outcome. It taught me that demonstrating our own vulnerability to clients can be helpful and healing for them (if done correctly). Paying more attention to how clients describe their dreams was also a take-away message (because Freud has been so rejected in the post-modern psychotherapy era, dreams tend to be forgotten as a useful insight into what is going on for the client). Definitely a must-read for all psychotherapists.
