the second time was different
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I reread parts of the book to give a lecture to some medical interns and I realized that it was much better the second time around. I think it is because I skipped over all the material on atmosphere, etiquette, etc. I recommend this book to all beginning therapists but would recommend against reading the chapters about whether it's o.k. to smoke in the session, whether to see patients at your house, etc. You get the idea. Focus on the parts about doing the actual therapy.
Great how to book for the beginning therapist!

"A Primer for Beginning Psychotherapy" is a great first book for those contemplating entering the counseling field or new graduates. The author spends much of the book describing the basics like how often to have sessions, atmosphere, the kind of information that a new therapist would want to know. The chapter on transference is excellent and could not be recommended enough for a new therapist. The whole book is a compact source of good information.
