Dr. Hooberman's new book offers a lucid and compelling account of psychotherapy at its best. Using rich and detailed examples that draw from his extensive clinical experience, Dr. Hooberman explains how therapy works in clear, jargon-free prose. Seasoned therapists, student therapists, and anyone interested in the therapeutic enterprise will find fresh and practical ideas in this excellent book.

Hooberman's succinct casebook is unabashedly clinical even though he underscores the theoretical underpinnings of his work with patients and even offers some novel concepts of his own. It will give the reader a pause and a fresh impetus to think about clinical work in deeper ways. An important service to mental health professionals indeed!
