Great overview of therapy models

This covered topics I wish were conveyed as clearly and comprehensively in grad school. A great overview for new therapists.

Informative and interesting!

I very much enjoyed listening to this audio book. It reads like a course describing the major approaches that psychotherapists take to helping people with mental health struggles. The author is an award-winning teacher and has a warm and engaging manner as she explains the ways that different flavors of psychotherapy work. She uses relatable examples, including a running example from a leading documentary film series (the "Up Series") that follows the progress of a British man from childhood through middle age. This book will be especially useful to people who are considering a career in psychotherapy, or related fields, as it explains the inner workings of this approach to emotional and behavioral challenges.

Excellent and very helpful
