| Review | "This unique book explores the "why" and "what" of helping to illuminate the art and values of psychotherapy. Author David Welch speaks directly to practicing helpers (and helpers-in-training) with compassion and humor. The book, based on the author's years of counseling experience, presents material in a way that reviewers have described as "mind-expanding," "priceless," and "compelling." This one-of-a-kind book offers wise philosophical and personal guidelines for the therapeutic relationship; uses first-person narrative and a storytelling style to offer wisdom drawn from years of introspective assessment of both cognitive and affective processes; emphasizes the therapist/client relationship; and draws from a variety of sources, including the author's own case files and experiences, novels, texts, television, and movies."--BOOK JACKET. |
