The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients by Nicola Ferguson, Irvin D. Yalom

3.0

---

Bite sized easy to digest chapters (many of which can be condensed into more concise single chapters, but that’s neither here nor there); there are some valuable tidbits scattered throughout, though I fear they are far and few between many that boil down to common sense, namely: be a decent human with a reasonable amount of empathy and/or emotional intelligence. (And also just some strange, hopefully outdated, advice).
