5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have addition to your reference library!!!, October 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Compassionate Therapy: Working with Difficult Clients (Jossey-Bass Social & Behavioral Science) (Hardcover)
If you are a beginning or experienced therapist, you won't find a better wake up and reminder call to client and therapist care than Jeffrey Kottler provides. Easily readable, refreshingly honest, this book offers experienced insights into therapist/client interaction which are liberating to say the least. Not only did I benefit greatly from reading this book, but best of all, so did my difficult clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fresh perspective., November 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Compassionate Therapy: Working with Difficult Clients (Jossey-Bass Social & Behavioral Science) (Hardcover)
Jeffrey Kottler's emphasis is on preventing treatment from remaining superficial. His book adds an important dimension to the literature. It describes a special kind of respect for the patient and the latent meanings of the patient's manifest utterances, and it stresses the use of the transference as a prime tool in deepening the treatment. The book is especially welcome as a balance to the proliferation of therapies that overlook the unconscious.
