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!

Technotrap
By Margaret Wehrenberg and Laurel Coppersmith

Relentless stress in the high-tech workplace of the 21st century is taking an unprecedented toll on our emotional lives and our capacity to wind down at the end of the day. At the same time, too many therapists fail to address workplace issues in the consulting room.

Blindsided
By J.Gibson Henderson, Jr.

In the face of what most people would consider their worst nightmare, a therapist rediscovers his craft and finds a way not only to endure, but to thrive.
