Product Overview
From highly regarded therapist and author David Treadway, this unique book presents fictional stories that are both instructive and a pleasure to read. The volume delves into vital personal, professional, and ethical issues that are often neglected in clinical training, including burnout; therapeutic mistakes; balancing a practice with one's own family life; client suicide; and relationships between therapists and clients, appropriate as well as inappropriate. Some of the characters in these skillfully crafted stories are revisited over time, providing a window into processes of clinical change and growth. Special features include thought-provoking questions at the end of each story, a study/discussion guide, and suggestions for further reading. A rewarding resource for clinicians, this volume is also a highly useful tool for professional workshops or graduate training programs.
