Candid, compassionate, and groundbreaking, The Heart of Psychotherapy opened the door to the therapeutic office more than a decade ago, offering a generation of readers an unparalleled evaluation of what does - and what should - go on in therapy.

Wise and sensitive, powerful and courageous, The Heart of Psychotherapy is an unusual, penetrating book that has long been regarded as the leading work in its field.Review Quotes
