Inside Therapy

Everyone with an interest in the process of psychotherapy -- practitioners, patients, students, and avid readers of Freud, Jung, et al -- will find Inside Therapy an engrossing read. A varied mix of essays, book chapters, case histories, and fiction written by veterans of both sides of "the couch" and representing many schools of thought, the collection includes: Janet Malcolm's The Impossible Profession -- Mark Epstein's Thoughts Without a Thinker -- Irvin Yalom's Love's Executioner -- Eric Fromm's The Art of Listening -- A. M. Homes's In a Country of Mothers -- and others.

At a time when managed care threatens the psychoanalytic tradition, this dramatic, inspiring collection reminds us of the healing power of insight and the unique gifts of the patient-therapist relationship.
