Stranger than fiction & more compelling!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The fact that these fascinating case studies are presented in the style of mysteries to be resolved is a plus, reminding us that our lives are essentially narratives. We live by the stories we're told & the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we attempt to live. Weinberg takes something of a back seat, letting the individuals & their lives speak for themselves; but the reader is always aware of his intelligence & compassion. With so much of the mental health field dominated by cost analysis & treated with drugs that don't always address the real problem, this volume reiterates a vital truth: therapy is as much an art as a science, and empathy is as important as insight & wisdom. Rewarding reading for anyone interested in the universe of the human psyche!
A wonderful, warm, walk through the woods of the human soul.

I read this book as a text in a undergraduate psychology course. I highly recomend it to anyone interested in psychotherapy, what it is like to be a patient and what it is like to be a psychotherapist.
