I found 'The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients' to be an immensely valuable book. I would wholeheartedly suggest it to the up-and-coming therapists of today. In fact, I believe it has something valuable to offer to anyone who is either considering therapy or already engaging in it. Reading this book feels like attending a series of enlightening therapy sessions with one of the most skilled practitioners in the field. I particularly appreciate the author's sympathetic perspective on the merits of Freudian psychology. It has truly deepened my understanding of the importance of having an exceptional psychotherapist. Moreover, the book also provides ample resources for even the most inexperienced individuals to aspire to become one themselves.
The wealth of knowledge in this book is a result of extensive experience, making it highly valuable. Even Johns Hopkins University utilizes it to train their aspiring counselors. However, if you plan on using it as a textbook for university, like I am, you may encounter a minor issue. It lacks a downloadable document that clearly states the chapter titles required by professors, making it slightly inconvenient to locate specific chapters.
As a male therapist of Afro-Caribbean descent residing in Baltimore, MD, I faced significant challenges in integrating various therapeutic approaches into my treatment plans. Despite my efforts, I was unable to achieve the desired results. However, upon discovering Dr. Yalom's wonderfully uncomplicated "here-and-now" concepts, I finally understood where I had gone astray and how to improve. This audiobook, "The Gift of Therapy," is remarkably easy to comprehend, and Don Hagen's voice serves as the perfect conduit for conveying the profound insights within the text. If you're seeking to enhance your grounding and knowledge of what constitutes an exceptionally effective therapy session, gifting yourself this audiobook is an ideal choice.
