Therapists are always willing to write and talk about cases but somewhat reluctant to expose themselves and their experiences. In this book however sixty psychotherapists of various backgrounds disciplines and levels of experience talk openly about themselves and their work. Divided into four main areas - Practice Theory Personal Experiences and the State of the Field - the book covers such subjects as fees schedules cancellations medication termination the effects of managed care supervision attitudes toward patients and questions about unethical colleagues to name a few. Every therapist is curious about what other professionals do feel and believe. Patients also want to know what their therapists think and feel when working with them and what it's like to be a psychotherapist. Both kinds of readers will find answers here.
