This book takes you on a wonderful adventure through the process of psychotherapy, both from the side of the client and the therapist. Although it has brief moments of academic flavor, it is mostly engaging and interesting no matter from where you approach it. Bugental shares his own experience as a therapist and discusses a view on human potential that is beautiful, moving, and inspiring. I highly recommend this book for an enjoyable read (nonfiction) and for insight on what psychotherapy can be.

This is an approach whose time has come, and James Bugental is a brilliant communicator. I use this approach within a Transtheoretical therapeutic model. In an environment where most psychotherapists come from the cognitive behavioral or psychoanalytic theories this book has added to my confidence and ability.
