Inside Therapy

...i found this book to be enlightening and enjoyable. the reader is allowed a rare insight into the psychotherapist's feelings and personal struggles when dealing with patients. in addition, it makes an obvious point to the reader that psychotherapists are human. although some of the excerpts do border on arrogant, i would still recommend this book to anyone who is considering going into the field of psychotherapy.

What can I add to the praise listed below? This book really is as good as they say. Superbly chosen excerpts that are well written and provide a thoughtful, amazing window into the inner workings (and chaos) of the patient's and therapist's minds--and how their relationship can bring healing and tremendous insight into our lives.

Whether you are a therapist or client, you are sure to find these carefully chosen excerpts enlightening and amusing. The volume Ms. Rabinowitz has woven from such disparate strands is one of the best I have ever read. Each excerpt is strong enough to stand alone. Many of the authors were new to me when I read Inside Therapy, but not any more. I've looked for the original works, and been glad to meet such fine thinkers.Samuel Shem's excerpt alone is worth the price of the book. If you are not howling with laughter over his witty pokes at Freudian analysis... well, you might want to give more serious consideration to the role of therapy in your life.

This is an excellent, instructive narrative about the healing powers of psychotherapy.
