Like any intense connection between people, a good therapeutic bond takes more than two motivated, well-intentioned people. This Reading Course shifts the usual perspective of clinical literature to offer a collection of client essays about what worked and what didn't in the course of their experiences of psychotherapy. Each explores what clients had to say about the moments of truth in their therapy, even if their therapist might not have had a clue about how much was at stake in a seemingly incidental exchange.
