Get This Book by Danny K. Marshall (Steilacoom, WA USA) 5 Stars
September 21, 2005
It has been around for a while, but should be on the shelf of every psychology student or counselor. The format is great for helping the reader understand the way theory really works.

It's okay, but there are better books out there. by Psychiatrist in training (Boston, MA)  3 Stars
August 25, 2004
As a psychiatrist in training, I found this book helpful, but I didn't like the fact that Dr. Basch's patients were always so well-behaved and predictable. He is a thoughtful therapist, but for help that is much more comprehensive, I'd recommend "Becoming a Therapist" by Bender and Messner. The duo of a trainee and seasoned psychiatrist works well because they are able to remember the questions of a beginner, but respond with the experience of a supervisor.

understanding psychotherapy 5 Stars
April 09, 2000
I have read and reread this book. If you are in therapy or or thinking of therapy it is absolutly the best book to read. Any confusion about your own therapy will be mentioned in some way in this book. It helps to clear your own mind and look at yourself in a productive way, realising that no matter how hard therapy is there is a reason for everything a therapist does. The book gives comfort when dealing with difficult issues as you might see yourself in one of his patients and realise that your own therapist is like Dr. Basch and doing what is best for you and totally on your side, eager to help you. It is a fantastic book, and I have never ever read a better book on psychotherapy. Thank you Dr. Basch.

Review of Doing Psychotherapy by Basch  4 Stars
March 31, 2000
This book is readable, astute and extremely well written. In the text, Basch has clearly illustrated the application of the psychoanalytic approach to therapy. Although Basch, at times, uses extensive psychological jargon, students in the field should not have trouble following along. Doing Psychotherapy is a useful reference book for any psychologist or student in the field planning on this line of work.
