From behind closed doors, leading therapists share their single-most challenging and ultimately triumphant cases, and recount how these experiences affected their view of therapy and their roles as helpers and healers.
In Their Finest Hour: Master Therapists Share Their Greatest Success Stories, two dozen of the field's best and brightest, on the cutting edge of their profession, relate their most professionally rewarding cases and what they learned from them. Readers will be fascinated as therapists talk about what defines achievement in their field, and how therapy really works. They speak frankly about how their seminal cases shaped their ideas. Told in a narrative style, each story ends with a unique lesson to be learned. The book is practical and accessible for practitioners in the field and those simply interested in the dynamic approaches taken by today's leading therapists.
