The Path of Psychotherapy

This unique book explores the "why" and "what" of helping to illuminate the art and values of psychotherapy. Author David Welch speaks directly to practicing helpers (and helpers-in-training) with compassion and humor. The book, based on the author's years of counseling experience, presents material in a way that reviewers have described as "mind-expanding", "priceless", and "compelling". This one-of-a-kind book offers wise philosophical and personal guidelines for the therapeutic relationship; uses first-person narrative and a storytelling style to offer wisdom drawn from years of introspective assessment of both cognitive and affective processes; emphasizes the therapist/client relationship; and draws from a variety of sources, including the author's own case files and experiences, novels, texts, television, and movies.
