Reviews

It is refreshing to read a therapy book that is so transparent and generous in detail about what actually goes on in treatment. Steve is a consummate professional and there is much to be learned from his case studies. His writing is engaging and highly readable, reminiscent of Yalom. I strongly recommend this book for practitioners and patients alike. Rhena Branch, author and BABCP accredited practitioner, trainer and supervisor in the UK. She is director and clinical lead for the mental health charity Fig Branch.
