Tough Customers: Is It Them or Us?

Tough CustomersBy Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. 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!

Through the writings of a journalist and four therapists, this Reading Course examines how therapists can help people who, every day of their lives, witness the worst that human beings can see. Journalist Cecilia Capuzzi Simon takes readers right into the brutality of the Iraq War and asks whether all our techniques aren’t missing something when it comes to helping traumatized vets cross the vast chasm dividing war from peace, soldier from citizen. James Gordon, a psychiatrist who’s worked in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Israel, leads a mental-healthcare team into war-ravaged Gaza to introduce Western style mind-body healing approaches in a culture far different from our own. Nancy Errebo describes her use of EMDR to help a troubled, young, Iraq war vet and his wife emerge from the nightmare of battlefield experience. Don Ferguson examines the challenges of helping traumatized Iraq vets and their wives salvage troubled marriages.
