Remarkable Psychotherapeutic Experiences:

About the Book

This book tells from the viewpoint of the client the story of three remarkable therapeutic experiences. It is unusual to hear about good therapy from the report of a client. The experiences are varied and the therapists use different approaches. From the book one can get a feel for what goes on in the sessions and the workshop described. You are there. There is an immediacy to the writing and description. One well-known theorist of therapy is portrayed - Eugene Gendlin. As is an existential therapist, Leida Berg, and a nationally known workshop - Opening the Heart. You will not forget these descriptions of therapy at its best, working well, and helping a client.
