We are not infallible after all.....

As a newcomer to the practice of therapy I found this book inspirational. Louis has a way of being human, honest, funny and presenting most of the ups and downs that encompass the experience of the training psychologist. Some great tips for maintaining the space between you and your client as well....enjoy as the real work begins.

Superb book. Superb writer. Superb therapist?

I'd bet he is.

First of all, this is an excellently written book. It must have been daunting to try to pull off turning the information he provided into such a imminently readable book. But the author hit it out of the park with his writing abilities, knowledge and expertise. I'll be referring to this book for years.

Cozolino leaves very few stones unturned for the beginning psychotherapist.

So, if you're looking for a primer on psychotherapy, I literally can't imagine a better book to begin with.

Fantastic job Dr. Cozolino.
