Description

Psychotherapy is booming. More people are in therapy than ever before. Yet most people have no idea of the vast differences between different schools of therapy. There are hundreds of different kinds of psychotherapy. Two psychotherapists will give diametrically opposite advice in a similar situationand a third will carefully refrain from giving any advice. People choosing a therapist, or referred to therapists by medical doctors, insurance companies, or courts, are usually completely unaware of the major differences among therapists. Therapy Breakthrough is the first book to explain clearly what goes on in therapy, showing how different it can be from one therapist to another, according to the differing theories and differing methods of the different types of therapy.
