Title: Becoming a Therapist : What Do I Say, and Why? by Suzanne Bender, Edward Messner ISBN: 1-57230-943-1 Publisher: The Guilford Press Pub. Date: 19 November, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $22.00 |

Summary: A classic for therapists, a compelling read
Comment: This thorough, compelling and entertaining book promises to become a classic in its field. The authors take the reader into the complex and fascinating terrain of the psychotherapist's office, and, better yet, into the therapist's head. The therapist-in-training learns how to talk and listen to patients, deal with problems as they arise, manage his/her own feelings dealing with a patients. This can also be a useful book for patients who want to understand psychotherapy from the other side. Written in clear, authoritative, precise prose, this book is accessible to all, sympathetic to both patients and therpists, and extremely informative. Not only will it be useful to therapists and patients, but would also be of interest to the mass market, especially Oprah! A must-buy for those interested in the therapeutic process.

Summary: Really fun and informative!
Comment: I'm not a therapist, but I really enjoyed reading this book! The dialogues made it read really fast, and I learned a lot about what happens in the therapy office-- from the other viewpoint. A really smart and valuable guide.

Summary: Helpfully concrete and friendly guidance
Comment: Another, less elegant title for this book might be, "Everything new therapists want to know, but are afraid to ask." Drs. Bender and Messner have gotten down to the very basics here, in a way which is friendly, yet firm; concrete, but backed by solid psychodynamic theory. They even write about mistakes they have made in their own practices, something which is not commonly done in this genre. This book would have saved me (and my patients) from a lot of stumbling in those early months, and dare I say, years. It is fun to read, to boot!
