They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Where Have All the “Patients” Gone? Facing the Realities of Practice Today

They'll help to identify the qualities and practices that will allow us to cultivate wisdom in our own lives and in our work.
